The Barrington Billionaires Series by Ruth Cardello

All new couples, still set in the world of Dominic Corisi. Move over Andrades—it’s time to hear from your cousins. This project is especially meaningful to me because I'm plotting it along with my sister, Jeannette Winters. The books in her series (Barrington Billionaire World) will release between mine. Our characters will make cameo appearances in both series. It won't be necessary to read hers to enjoy mine, but it will be more fun if you do.

Dax Marshall isn’t the type of man a woman takes home to meet her parents. He’s a business shark who has never let anything as insignificant as caring stop him from taking over a company. Some call him heartless, but he doesn’t see the value of caring about anyone or anything until he meets Kenzi. Her happiness becomes his obsession. Kenzi Barrington has tried to be the person her family needed her to be, but she doesn't want to lie anymore... moreDax Marshall isn’t the type of man a woman takes home to meet her parents.

A Billionaire for Lexi by Ruth Cardello Clay Landon has never taken himself or his life of privilege seriously. He has spent his life going where he wanted, when he wanted, and keeping his relationships as casual and open as his lifestyle. It’s a pretty damn good life until he meets Lexi Chambers, an equally free spirit who is completely unimpressed by him or his wealth. Having her becomes his obsession. Lexi Chambers knows how to get into trouble and does so with a skill acquired by doing it a shit–Let’s just say a lot. Her sister, Willa, recently married into the wealthy Barrington family and Lexi is trying to stay on her best behavior. One too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Clay, will test her resolve. He’ll make her laugh and push her to, once again, believe in possibilities. Just in Thyme by Jeannette Winters World-renowned chef, Vincent Moretti, could have anyone, anything, anytime. Social events had a single agenda—build his business, which was why he couldn’t refuse the last-minute invite to the New Year’s charity event. When he learned his investors wouldn’t be there, he was angry he’d wasted his valuable time. Adventurous and loyal Renita Gallo had chosen to stay in Stowe, Vermont for one reason—her father. She wanted to be a teacher. He wanted her to follow in his footsteps and become a chef. When her father became ill and couldn’t cater the very important Barrington event at the Vermont resort, she was forced into a role she wasn’t prepared for, and into the presence of the most arrogant man she’d ever met. Renita was confounding, a woman who challenged Vincent, a woman so enchanting he couldn’t resist. Wouldn’t resist. She was also determined to ignore the allure of the devastatingly handsome Chef Moretti. Vincent ignited such passion within her that shook her steadfast sense of responsibility. Thrown together during a snow storm, more than food will be cooking in the kitchen. Midnight on the Slopes by Danielle Stewart Nolan Saint-Jane is a big enough person to pretend he’s happy his sister Libby has married a billionaire oilman. She deserves the best but the sudden change has taken the last piece of family from him. Having spent Christmas alone, brooding Nolan is determined that New Year’s Eve will be different. Holly McNamara travels light. She can’t be held down by anything when it’s time to run again. New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to make a break for it and a chance meeting with a stranger in a coffee shop gives her the opportunity she needs. When the snow starts to fall, the passion erupts and the truth comes out, Nolan and Holly will have to decide if the new year holds hope for the new life they both need. If you enjoyed reading these intertwined novellas, you’ll love our synchronized billionaire series. All the same fun, but with stand alone romances set in the same world with character cross over and plots that will have you laughing out loud, fanning your face, and staying up to see what happens next. less
