Bedding the Billionaire by Virna

Bedding the Bachelors #3
September 1st, 2014
Free-spirited Lucy Conrad enjoys her friends but keeps others at a
distance, especially her affluent and judgmental family…and the billionaire she
once dated, Jamie Whitcomb. Despite their explosive chemistry, experience has
proven she’ll never fit into his world.
Charismatic Jamie enjoys work, women, and
wealth. When duty demands he take over running the family business, he jumps in
full-throttle; his only regret is Lucy’s refusal to take the ride with him.
Then tragedy strikes and Lucy realizes that in
order to gain custody of her orphaned niece, she must prove she can fit back
into the high-society world she once rejected. The solution? Accept Jamie’s
make-believe marriage proposal, and be seen as the type of mother her niece
deserves. Respectable. Controlled. Willing to play the game.
With her faux-fiancé by her side, Lucy exchanges
dirty martinis and leather for champagne and silk. But when the passion between
Lucy and Jamie only grows greater, they have to make a choice: back away from
each other and not get hurt…or risk everything for the kind of love money can’t
buy.

Excerpt
“So, about why you came…”
“I came to say a goodbye, of sorts.”
Her heart stuttered, but hopefully she
managed to keep her face blank. “Goodbye?”

“That’s right. I’m not coming back next semester.”
“You’ve taken another teaching job?”
“No,” he said, slipping his hands in his pockets. “Teaching
has been wonderful, but I always planned to return to Whitcomb Enterprises in
Los Angeles. My father will be retiring soon. Plus, the company’s expanding
into airplane parts manufacturing plants and my environmental science expertise
is going to be critical in that expansion.”

“I see,” she said, looking down at her hands, folded on her
desk. “So, when are you leaving?”

He left tomorrow.
She hadn’t seen him much since they’d broken up. Only here
and there. And she’d been so angry before. It had only been a few weeks since
they’d been able to be civil to one another again. Now he’d be gone from her
life. Forever?

She was more shaken by the news than she wanted to admit.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
She swallowed, forcing a shrug. “Of course. I wish you well,
Jamie.”

“I may be leaving the university, but we’ve still got
Vegas.”

“Of course.”
“I’m attending a bachelor party while I’m there—one of my
college friends is marrying my sister—and then I’ll be at the wedding.”

“That’s right. Brianne. And Eric?”
His jaw clenched. “That’s right.”
“So the wedding is in L.A.?”
“Coronado Island.”
The well-to-do place where he grew up. Lucy had been there
once. It was a beautiful beach resort town that managed to seem casual even as
it reeked of old money.

“Yes, well…I’m sure it’ll be a grand affair.” She rose from
her seated position behind the desk, and to prove to him and to herself how
over him she was, she came around to where he was and reached out to give him a
hug. “See you in Vegas.”

He wrapped his arms around her waist.
His shoulders were as strong and broad and taut as she
remembered them. His scent as woodsy. His breath as soft on her neck as he held
her tight, returning the embrace. Tingles shot through her stomach. God, what
this man could do to her. Sexual chemistry had never been their problem.

A little overwhelmed by being in bodily contact with a man
her body still seemed to desire, she pulled back, intent on ending the hug. But
when she tried to pull away, Jamie kept his arms around her waist.

“Do you need something else?” she asked, now eye-to-eye with

“Yes.”
For a moment, time hung suspended, and it seemed as though
Lucy could see every fleck of gold in Jamie’s eyes, could feel every pound of
his heartbeat, could breathe in the essence of him…and then he cupped her face
and kissed her, even as he wound the hair at the sides of her face up in his
fingers and tugged. Lucy felt herself melt into him and a moan escaped her
lips. As they parted of their own free will, he slipped his tongue inside her
mouth and sought hers out.

God, it was so

was dizzy and she felt like she might very well black out.

Bedding the Bachelors #2
This
bad boy is ready to work some magic…
Identical twin and Las Vegas performer Max
Dalton has always been the number one bad boy in his family, and he’s
appreciated the women and fame that comes along with his reputation.
Grace Sinclair is on a mission when she comes to
Vegas, one that involves asking Max, her best friend’s brother-in-law, to give
her the pleasure no man’s ever been able to. She suspects Max has more layers
than he lets people see, but she’s determined to keep her heart safe even as
she offers him her body.
What neither of them plan on is love—or the
triangle the media stirs up with Max’s blonde bombshell actress friend.
Will Grace see beyond Max’s bad boy façade long
enough to trust him with her heart? And will Max figure out what he really
wants before he loses the one woman who makes him believe in love again?
