Her Billionaires Series
Author: Julia Kent

    "Hot, luscious piece of ass who can suck a golf ball through forty feet of garden hose seeks rippling-ab'd firefighter who has a tongue that thrums like a hummingbird and enjoys painting my toenails and eating Ben & Jerry's out of the carton while watching Mad Men."
    Laura Michaels stared at the online dating site's registration screen and frowned. That's what she really wanted to write. Here was the truth:
    "Needy, insecure, overweight twenty-six year old Business Analyst with three cats, a corporate job with pension and no debt seeks Mr. Impossible for way more than friendship and lots of ice cream. I'm desperate for some physical affection and oral sex with a guy who doesn't view it as some sort of favor he's granting me, and then expects to be praised like he cleaned my toilet. One night stands are better than nothing as long as you brush your teeth. So call me, maybe!"

    When Laura Michaels got one hot firefighter pinging her for a date after joining a popular online dating service, she thought she had won the lottery. A night with Dylan Stanwyck, professional (firefighting) hunk and former model, had been too much. Fearful her curves would turn him off like so many other guys, her pleasant surprise turned to white-hot passion as she broke her own rule and slept with him on the first date.
    That turned to regret when she awoke in the wee hours of the morning and found pictures of a hot, buff surfer-type woman with Dylan plastered all over his bedroom. Taking the hint, she made the walk of shame home, deleted him from her contacts and chalked it up to experience.
    To her shock, within hours a new guy - Mike Pine, a ski instructor and marathon runner with a body and face like an actor in a superhero movie - messaged her and asked her out. Lightning struck twice in 24 hours! Laura was incredulous but, emboldened by encouragement from her best friend, Josie, she took the plunge and accepted the date.

    Dylan Stanwyck and Mike Pine are looking for a certain kind of woman. The firefighter and ski instructor aren't picky - blonde, brunette, Asian, African-American, Caucasian, athletic, Rubenesque, boyish - any type will do, but there is one pesky little deal breaker - she needs to want a long-term threesome. So far, that's caused some problems as Dylan took to the dating field and found no takers, search for someone he and Mike could share. Laura Michaels fits the bill - they hope. Working class stiffs who become accidental billionaires in a mysterious turn of events involving their dearly departed longtime lover's estate, the men are looking now for a third to complete them.
    When Dylan discovers Mike's gone behind his back and slept with Laura, the deception makes them both realize that they want Laura, desperately - to be their permanent third. The question is - how can they untangle the web they've caught them all in? Will Laura flee when she learns the truth?

    Laura flees after an amazing encounter with Dylan and Mike, a threesome lovemaking experience that sets her senses on fire and her heart ablaze. But hopes are quickly extinguished when reality settles in and she feels duped. Had they set her up just to get her in bed? Was she the butt of some elaborate sexual joke? Running for the safety of her best friend, Josie, she pours her heart out and learns that Josie has a few secrets of her own involving threesomes...
    After Laura leaves in a panic, Mike and Dylan must wrestle with their past, to come to terms with how it may jeopardize their future with her. A chance run-in with Laura and her friend Josie at a legendary Boston diner gives them renewed hope that they have a shot with Laura. When she accepts their offer for dinner - and only dinner - the guys see that being normal and comfortable and fun is the best remedy for their past transgressions, and they're determined to win her back, one Italian meatball and homemade tiramisu bite at a time.

    Hot make-out session? Check. With the dreamy obstetrician? Check. While her best friend is in labor? Um... It's Complicated.
    Josie Mendham never meant to have her own (radically different) set of gasps and moans a few doors down from where her best friend, Laura, was giving birth. And stealing away with the obstetrician who was consulting on Laura's case certainly wasn't part of any birth plan.
    When Dr. Alex Derjian watched the foursome enter the labor ward he did a doubletake: two dads? That defied biology as he knew it. Even more intriguing was the woman with the birthing mother and the fathers: Josie, the nurse he'd been watching from afar for months. One elevator kiss led to an on-call room soiree and soon he was breaking every romantic rule in his playbook.

    Six months after having her baby, Laura finds that her relationships have cooled, even as her naughty desires heat up her eReader. When their best friends take the baby for an overnight, Mike and Dylan show Laura just how alpha they can both be, as Laura surrenders herself to them with complete abandon.
    In this novella that continues the New York Times bestselling series, Her Billionaires, Julia Kent explores what happens when Happily Ever After means learning that lust, trust and love are processes that need to be practiced...over and over...in order to grow.

    With Mike and Dylan’s help, Laura has overcome her postpartum blues and is revved and rarin’ to go...with two very exhausted new dads! Meanwhile, Mike is feeling something new—jealousy?—in his relationship with Laura and Dylan, which throws him off center and makes him question his sense of self. Having everything they ever wanted, the trio works on finding ways to balance their inner and outer worlds while keeping the embers stoked.
    For Alex and Josie, a growing commitment has one of them pleased—and the other uneasy. Josie lets Alex “move in,” which means he can store a toothbrush at her apartment. He's ready for more. Way more.
    Relationships deepen, babies grow up, Laura learns to ski, Josie skates on thin ice, and the gang finds over time that the hardest part of falling in love isn't the love part—it’s the falling.

    As Laura struggles to understand her relationship with Mike and Dylan, her best friend Josie recommends a surprising ally: Josie's niece, Darla (from the New York Times bestselling Random series). When Laura and Darla meet for lunch at Jeddy's diner and are served by wise-cracking waitress Madge, what was supposed to be a moment of connection for two very unique women turns into a rollicking screwball scene.
    Turnabout is fair play: Mike and Dylan meet with Joe and Trevor (also from the Random series) for the least comfortable conversation ever. While all the guys bond and spar, for Mike and Dylan it's like looking back in time...and maybe the past has a few surprises they didn't see coming. It's one thing to feel unique, but it's quite another to feel lonely. The gang learns that being connected means being vulnerable...with unexpected results.
