  “Don’t do it.

  Don’t drool over him.

  It’s a mistake.

  He’s going to be your boss.”

  * * *

  With a teasing smile, deep voice, expensive suit and perfectly chiselled abs. It’s enough to melt your soul. Halstead Billionaire Brothers will make your brains go out the window.

  * * *

  The Billionaire’s Chef

  * * *

  Falling for a sexy legend has consequences.

  Serious consequences.

  Especially when that sexy God is your boss.

  Yeah…

  * * *

  I got the job.

  It was the gig that was going to change everything, fancy clients, hot men, huge mansions.

  The problem? My new boss Dominic Halstead.

  The mystery, the legend, the reason my heart skipped beats.

  He was a Halstead and they were known to be billionaire heartbreakers.

  The first time I saw him from across the room, I knew.

  I was drawn to the tall devil.

  I couldn’t take my eyes off of his large…muscles.

  Out of my reach, firmly.

  He wants me from the look of it.

  His eyes follow me wherever I go.

  Dominic’s tone was so husky.

  All enough to lose my grip on reality.

  * * *

  Will I ever find air again?

  Or am I destined to lose myself completely, drowning in Dominic?

  * * *

  The Billionaire’s Nanny

  * * *

  After everything I’d been through,

  the last thing I needed was to fall for another man…

  Especially when that man just hired me as his nanny.

  * * *

  I always told myself I wasn’t that girl who played with the boss,

  but one look at Jason Halstead and I knew I was in trouble.

  His muscles strained against his expensive suit,

  and he had a devilish grin that melted me from the inside out.

  It was nearly enough to make me blow my interview,

  I felt like I was drowning in those piercing eyes.

  And when I wasn’t locked in Jason’s gaze, I couldn’t help being drawn to his…

  Oh my God.

  The next thing I knew, I was thrown into caring for Jason’s three children.

  In his house. Full time. Uh oh.

  No matter how busy my work kept me, it wasn’t enough…

  I found myself alone with this sexy billionaire over and over again.

  * * *

  Am I risking everything for a hot billionaire who will discard me when his past comes knocking?

  * * *

  The Billionaire’s Lawyer

  * * *

  If temptation had a name, it would be Eric Halstead.

  Powerful, sexy-as-hell billionaire and my romantic nemesis.

  He’s the one man responsible for the worst date of my life,

  And the only person that stands between me and my dream job.

  * * *

  I never imagined I’d be standing face to face with the bane of my existence again,

  Let alone dedicating every second of my life to making sure his perfectly shaped ass stays out of prison.

  Which means for the foreseeable future I must eat, sleep, and breathe…

  all things Eric Halstead.

  I hate him, and yet – he is still the main character in all of my juiciest fantasies.

  He’s the devil in a three-piece suit.

  With a teasing smile, perfectly chiseled abs and an ice-cold heart made of pure stone,

>   He’s the kind of man that could completely and utterly destroy me,

  And now he’s set his sights on charming his way into my bed.

  Playing his game means one of us will lose.

  And if there’s one thing I know about Eric Halstead,

  He always gets what he wants.

  * * *

  If I give into my desires – will he rip my heart to shreds?

  Or can guys like that really change - transforming into all you want and need…even outside the bedroom.

  * * *

  The Billionaire’s Fake Bride

  * * *

  They say you shouldn’t fake it…

  But with half a million dollars on the line,

  I’d do just about anything to fix my possible eviction and empty bank account.

  Even if that means marrying billionaire playboy Jesse Halstead.

  * * *

  I never thought I’d be desperate enough to work with a matchmaking agency,

  Let alone one that pairs broke people with billionaires for financial gain.

  But here I am, pretending to be a blushing bride,

  And pretending not to notice how drop-dead sexy Jesse is the moment I met him.

  I promised myself one rule throughout this agreement, Don’t fall.

  Don’t fall prey to his irresistible allure… not going so well.

  Don’t fall into his bed… it was only one time!

  And absolutely don’t fall in love… oops.

  I’m starting to realize that pretending I’m not in love with Jesse Halstead,

  Just might be the hardest thing I’ll ever fake.

  * * *

  Do I risk telling him how I feel?

  Or is falling for my fake husband just flirting with disaster?

  The Billionaire’s Chef

  Dominic

  Lisa was just leaving when Jesse came in. I was busy now, getting prepared for the fundraising event that was scheduled for next week. It was easy to get lost in the woman, but now I had to pay attention.

  Jesse smiled at me and he had that look, like he knew what we’d been doing, and I tried to ignore him. He really just didn’t get it.

  “Nice, I always liked her.”

  I shrugged. “Then you should give it a try. She just wants the Halstead money Jesse, that’s it. Lisa doesn’t want me in particular She would take any of us, if that means that she could live this life.”

  My younger brother scoffed, because he didn’t want to believe that. He was still in the time of his life. He thought that people were kind and just. I knew better. I’d been running a multi-billion-dollar corporation since our parents were killed. I’d learned my lesson about expectations and what I thought people would do.

  “How can you be so callous, Dominic? You two have been dating for a while now.”

  “Like I said, we have fun together, but that’s it. I know it.”

  “Does she know it?”

  I looked at him and I wished that my youngest brother wasn’t so sheltered. We’d done it, me and my other brothers, but he was just more seemingly delicate than the rest of us. He was the last, the baby, and we’d made sure that nothing happened to him. In retrospect, we should have probably let him fail a bit more, He was too naïve for his own good.

  “I don’t know what Lisa is thinking about. She’s constantly asking for gifts, so I don’t think she worries about it. I give her stuff and that keeps her quiet most of the time.”

  By the look that I was getting from Jesse, I needed to change the subject. It was the one night a week we all came together. Jason and Eric would be here soon. I didn’t want to still be having this conversation when they got here. Jason was always into everyone’s business, trying to help everything, but I didn’t need his blundering mitts in this pot. I didn’t want his opinion.

  Eric of course wouldn’t care. He was just coincidentally in town to be at the meeting. He was usually jet-setting around the world, with not a care in the world about the company that paid for his lifestyle.

  “Have you seen Eric’s new girlfriend? Jason met her last week, and he said that she’s really hot.”

  Jesse groaned. “Eric is worse than you. I doubt he knows her name. He brought Jessica to the house for Christmas, and then left her there with us, so that he could go see that other one, what was her name?”

  “Carol.”

  He smiled and I chuckled with him. If Jesse was focused on Eric’s shortcomings, then maybe he wouldn’t be as interested in mine. I was done being under the microscope, that was for certain.

  “Now that chick is better off being left alone. She seriously asked me if I knew how to get to the bathroom, twice. I mean, she made a comment about the tub as she was coming in, but then asked me where it was. I don’t know many people that can match her in that way.”

  I agreed and was glad it took some of the pressure off of me and Lisa. I didn’t want her to be seen leaving, but she had a knack to know when to linger a bit longer than I wanted. She had plans for me, but I wasn’t going to go along with them. I didn’t want any of my brothers to get into her grasp. If they did, all of the Halsteads would have to worry about it.

  Eric came in not long after we started talking about him. I asked him if his ears were burning, and he just waved me off.

  “Hell no, I’m not stunting you guys at all. I just got back from Nepal, and I don’t think I’ve felt more at peace in years.”

  I sneered at him, not buying the crap.

  “You just found a way to do less and sleep on a floor. I need you in for a board meeting. The new logo looks great, but I need a better copy. The one you transferred from whatever mountaintop you were on, didn’t get here right.”

  Eric said he would get on it, and I was able to relax. Maria brought out drinks while we waited for the last of us to get here. Jason was a newly-widowed single dad and he was always tired. He had some work that needed to be turned in as well, though I wouldn’t get onto him as much. Jason had his plate full.

  When he finally did get in, it was clear that Jason was in the mood for a drink, and I handed him one, before I asked how his day was going.

  “Those reports you were asking about are in your email. The child wouldn’t let me work earlier.”

  “It’s fine, Jason. I know you have your hands full. It will be better once you find a good nanny. I will have Maria look for you, if you like. She’s better than my assistant for some things. Maria can find anything.”

  “No, Dom. I’m just not ready for it right now. I know that I will have to soon, just not yet. Unless, you’re telling me that I have to.”

  “Not at all.”

  I wanted him back to work, running finances, but I knew that he needed some more time. I should be lucky that he wasn’t off on a mountain somewhere like Eric. Jason was the one that deserved a break.

  “You’re too easy on me, brother.”

  I patted his shoulder. “Yet you let me. You’ll come back soon though, right?”

  Jason agreed. “Soon.”

  That was good enough for me, and I moved to the front of the table. I missed a call since I was talking to Jesse, but it didn’t matter. We were here for the twenty-year anniversary of the company. I was going to give out bonuses that would make everyone happy. It was the best part of my year, and I was glad to have all of my brothers around the table.

  “Halsteads, here we are. Another year in the books and another billion or three made. It was a damn good year.”

  Glasses were raised, and I looked around the room. They all bear resemblance to me in some way. We all looked like our father, with some like Jesse, getting the helpful, delicate temperament of our mother. Both were gone, but they lived on through us, and I caught myself getting misty-eyed.
