The Billionaire

Portland Protectors- EHM Security series
Book 3

by Emerson Beckett & Rheland Richmond

Blurb:

There’s a thin line between love and hate, and I hate that I’m still in love with him.

โ˜…Austin โ€œDaredevilโ€ Wentworthโ˜…

I hate Greer Rowan.

Hate how I feel when he looks at me, hate the way things ended, and I hate that heโ€™s my older brotherโ€™s best friend.

I hate how badly I want him, and most of all, I hate that Iโ€™m still stupidly in love with him.

But I have a job to do. Greer has hired me to do the impossible with him on an international excursion thatโ€™s going to land us together in his bed. Problem is, I might not hate that.

โ˜…Greer Rowanโ˜…

Iโ€™ve been such a fool.

I had my reasons for doing what I did, and I know I hurt him. Austin may never understand, but Iโ€™m going to force him to hear me out. And if pushing all his protector buttons to get him to pretend to be my boyfriend at my nieceโ€™s wedding wonโ€™t do the trick, Iโ€™ll dare him to do something else because that angry man is all I want.

Austin is the love of my life. Weโ€™re supposed to be together, and Iโ€™ve already wasted too many years without him.

The Billionaire is book three in the Portland Protectors- EHM Security series. It is a not so fake boyfriend, gay for you, brotherโ€™s best friend, grumpy sunshine MM Romance with a swoony HEA.

Excerpt:

Greer turned to appraise me with a knowing smile, making my breathing a little raspier than normal. I was no longer Carterโ€™s kid brother. I was more. And his appreciative smile and long assessing gaze that took in my face, my sharp jaw, and my lips said he knew it. And he looked pleased to see me.

โ€œWell, hello there. It’s good to see you, Austin.โ€

I smiled and held out my hand to shake his. โ€œHello, Greer. Itโ€™s really nice to see you.โ€

He shifted on his stool toward me, then looked momentarily at my hand before sliding his into mine.

When he touched me, a warm sensation started in my hand before heading straight into my pants. I looked down at where our skin made contact and, for the briefest of moments, I wondered if his lips on mine would have the same effect. Would he taste like I’d imagined?

Would kissing him cause an electrical current to run through me, making me want things I knew I shouldnโ€™t? He was my much older brotherโ€™s best friend, and old enough to be my father. But that didnโ€™t stop the tidal wave of longing and desire Iโ€™d carried for him for years. And at that moment, I didnโ€™t think anything could.

Greer held my hand as he looked into my eyes, making me lose track of time. Iโ€™d always been attracted to him, and if the way he looked at me was any indication, he was feeling it, too.

โ€œWant a drink?โ€

I felt my face heat as his words registered in my lust-addled brain. Thatโ€™s what he reduced me to every single time I was near him.

โ€œUh, yeah,โ€ I said, clearing my throat and pulling my hand from his. โ€œIโ€™ll have a stout.โ€

Greer smiled like my choice of beverage answered an unasked question, then turned back toward the bartender, where he raised a hand to get his attention. I took a breath and righted myself on the stool. His familiar cologne filled my nose again, and I wanted to rub up against him like a cat. I wanted his scent all over my skin.

The close confines of the bar caused my thigh to line up with his, igniting an entirely new wave of scorching desire and need through every cell in my body. No man had ever caused this kind of fire in me. And it was dangerous as fuck.

For as long as she can remember, Rheland’s had her nose stuck in a book, getting lost in the world of someone else’s creation (She still does). Her love for writing came from her love for reading. She could never have one without the other.

Writing has always been a hobby and a cathartic experience for her. There are many stories lost to the never to be completed or published pile but needed to be written at the time.

She’s just a girl that loved stories so much she decided to write hers.

Rheland would love to hear from her readers and learn more about y’all. So if you get a chance… Get in touch.โ€ฉ
