Brandon doesn't have a care in the world. Luck has followed him and his twin brother, Connor, their whole lives-even landing them in the billionaire's club-and the luck of genetics ensured him that, with or without money, he would always have women after him. But Brandon's luck has just run out. He has agreed to the terms of an annual challenge with his brothers to conquer a woman from a chosen group, and in the process, suddenly finds himself facing a conundrum: while carrying out the challenge with one woman, he realizes his feelings for a childhood friend, Erica, goes far beyond friendship-especially now that she's getting married. Now, two gorgeous prizes are on the line, and it seems he can't win one without losing the other. If he drops everything and goes after Erica, he loses the game. If he lets his fake relationship play out, he wins his older brother's stunning Hawaiian beach house, but could lose Erica forever. Brandon is used to surfing along wherever life wants to take him, but will he finally interrupt the flow and take a necessary risk? Erica Cain once had a crush on Brandon Wilde as a silly teenager, but she eventually got over it; in fact, she's glad it never worked out for them romantically once she sees what a vile boyfriend Brandon would have made as she watches him navigate life. She is convinced she has moved on from that schoolgirl crush, and finds herself a dedicated, stable man to settle down with. But now Brandon's blue eyes are looking at her in a way they never have, and it is stirring up feelings she has long buried. She can't let Brandon crash into her life and wash away her plans, but how long can she resist Brandon's heated baby blues? A second chance love triangle romance. This is book 2 in The Billionaire's Desire series. It's a standalone tale, but it's best to read this series in order.

When Nate, a billeting baseball player with the Cape Cod Baseball League, arrives bright and early one morning, Jordan has already decided that she doesn't like him. She doesn't like that he will be staying in Nicholas's room and she doesn't like that he seems so friendly and smug.

One Of A Kind by CammiKenny

"Let me convince you that love exists" Benjamin grinned at me. "Love is just some delusion our mind creates to make sure we procreate" I rolled my eyes. "And even if it did exist, wouldn't falling in love with you just hurt me in the end anyway?" "Maybe not" Benjamin shrugged. "If you don't believe in love by graduation, I'll tell everyone that you're the better hockey player" "Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Fine. Just don't get your hopes up too high, Prescott." Sage Preston didn't believe in love, which is surprising, considering her family is filled with true love stories. Benjamin Prescott, the son of her families long time rivals, is adamant to prove her wrong and show her how amazing love is. She's 90% sure that she'll win this bet. The 10% is uncertain because she remembers how hurt she was when Benjamin rejected her in 7th grade. { Book 3 of the Preston series }
