Billionaire Undeceived ~ Devon: (Montana Billionaire’s #3) (The Billionaire’s Obsession Book 22)
Billionaire Undeceived from New York Times Bestselling Author J.S. Scott.I’d moved from the city to rural Montana for a reason. Unfortunately, I couldn’t share that reason with anyone, including Devon Remington, no matter how hard the insufferable billionaire tried to pry into my personal life.
Devon was a thorn in my side. The cynical jerk had been trying to find out my secrets since the day I’d arrive in Crystal Fork, Montana.
We despised each other…until the day when everything changed between the two of us, and I started to see another side of the infuriating man.
Problem was, I couldn’t allow myself to get too close to him, no matter how much I wanted to get to know the enigmatic man.
And I definitely couldn’t give in to the white hot chemistry between the two of us.
Devon could never really know me, and I had a feeling that the gorgeous man had secrets of his own that he’d never share with anyone.
I told myself that we needed to keep our secrets and our hands to ourselves.
Simple, right?
Yeah, it should have been easy, but things eventually became much more complicated than I ever could have imagined…
Author Note: Billionaire Undeceived is a book from the Montana Billionaires from The Billionaire’s Obsession series. For maximum enjoyment of this book, I suggest reading the Montana Billionaires in order, starting with Kaleb’s book, Billionaire Unexplained. The Montana Billionaires series is a small town, billionaire romance series with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

His Kingdom (Owning Vegas Book 1)
Louie
My mother taught me one valuable lesson that I’ve used to get to where I am today. And
where am I? Las Vegas.
Who am I? Well, that depends on who you are. To some, I’m the king. The judge, juror, and
executioner. To others, I’m just another rich asshole who owns a few casinos.
But I own more than that. I own the strip and the streets surrounding it. I own this city, and
it’ll have to be wretched from my cold, dead hands before I hand it over to anyone else.
When I spot her, I don’t sense the desperation that wafts off the usual crowd. No, she has a
loneliness that rivals my own, a sadness that I want to soak in, and a body made to sin with.
What was that lesson my mother taught me? Trust no one. The thing is, Charlotte is taking a
wrecking ball to that lesson because every fiber of my being wants to trust this woman.Charlotte
When you don’t want to be seen, find a crowded place and blend in.
That’s exactly why I came to Vegas. To not be seen. I figured with all the flashing lights,
alcohol, drugs, people… no one would notice me.
But he did. And I don’t know how to get him to unsee me. Or if I even want him to.
This city was supposed to be my sanctuary, a place to forget who I am. Or should I say who I
was? A place to let go of the past. A place no one would ever think to look for me.
It was supposed to be just one weekend. But now I think it might be so much more…Read more

Rebound: A standalone, second chance romance (Manhattan Ruthless)
They say love is all you need.
They’re wrong.Sometimes, no matter how much you want to stop it from happening, you have to watch the person you love most in the world slip through your fingers. Even when it feels entirely wrong, you can still find yourself sitting in a lawyer’s office with your spouse, negotiating the terms of your divorce.
It doesn’t matter that she’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. Or that we both meant it when we promised each other forever. It matters even less that she can still make my knees weak with nothing more than a smile. None of that is enough to fix the things we’ve spent a lifetime together breaking.
We were meant to be together but destined to be apart. So we’re doing just that—separating our joined lives into two distinct, single ones. An amicable uncoupling. Or so it appears on the surface.
Only it’s not so easy to extricate yourself from someone who’s been a part of your life for two decades. It’s even harder to deny the physical attraction that’s still there, simmering underneath the surface. If only we didn’t have so much baggage, maybe we could enjoy some no-strings fun to take the edge off the whole divorce situation.
That thought is exactly how I wind up doing the unthinkable: having an affair.
With my wife.
Knee-deep in lawyer negotiations, we’re sneaking around behind everyone’s backs. Secret hotel meetups, burner phones, lying to my family, the works. And despite the physical attraction—and the way she still moans my name—the divorce is going ahead. We’ve made too many mistakes to fix them now.Or have we? Because what’s happening between us seems like it surpasses the boundaries of a physical affair. What if this is our chance to fix everything we got so very wrong the first time around?
With my family on one side and my wife on the other, I’m torn between what I should do and what I want to do. Torn between my head and my heart.
No matter what I decide, one thing is for certain: There is no such thing as no-strings-attached when the object of your infatuation is also the love of your life.
Rebound is a standalone second chance billionaire romance. With a whole lot of angst and a HEA guaranteed.

As a recently divorced single mom, I have zero interest in flirting with guys while on a rare girls’ weekend away with my sisters. I just want to have fun, celebrate my new job, and listen to live music at a honky tonk.
But when I literally stumble into the most gorgeous guy ever on the dance floor, those plans go up in smoke. Growing up on the barrel racing circuit, I’ve seen my fair share of sexy cowboys. But this particular one is hot as hell: Sawyer’s got a mustache, tattoos, and a very filthy mouth.
Needless to say, we end up naked in his swanky hotel room. It’s the best sex of my life. And the way Sawyer treats me like a queen? A girl could get used to that kind of adoration.
Good thing he’ll only be a one-night stand I can look back on with a smile. I’m rebuilding my life from scratch, and I need to focus on my three-year-old daughter and the dream job I just landed.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I move to Hartsville and run into a tattooed cowboy with an adorable daughter of his own. Now, Sawyer wants more than the occasional playdates between our girls. But the closer we become, the more determined this sexy single dad is to keep me forever.
As much as I’m falling for Sawyer, I’m terrified. I’ve been down this road before with my ex, and I wonder if I can trust this cowboy. Will he rope the moon for me? Or is my heart destined to be trampled all over again?
