Thank you to you, the reader for taking a chance on me. I know that reading a new author or a new series from a known author can be risky - I’m a reader too. So thank you for taking the chance on me and I hope you have loved this story as much as I loved writing it.
About the Author
Emma Lea is a barista, artist, cook, mother and wife. She lives on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with her wonderful husband. She has two beautiful, grown-up sons, a dog and a cat (both of which are female because, hey, we needed to balance all that testosterone!)
She is a ferocious reader with eclectic tastes and has always wanted to write, but never had the opportunity due to one reason or another (excuses, really) until finally taking the bullet between her teeth in 2014 and just making herself do it.
She loves to write stories with heart and a message and believes in strong female characters who do not necessarily have to be aggressive to show their strength.

Have you met Australia’s youngest billionaires yet?
The Billionaire Stepbrother
Bailey Sheppard has loved Nick Heart for as long as she could remember. They had been best friends in school and had graduated to a friends with benefits arrangement after she left home to study at a University two states away. Their once a month weekends were the highlight of her life, when he would fly in to visit her and she would have him all to herself for the entire, uninterrupted weekend.
And then he told her he was getting married.
Bailey’s perfect world was threatening to implode and she had to do something to set it to rights. She needed Nick in her life, she wanted to be the one he married and lived happily ever after with. So she hatched a plan to stop the wedding and steal the groom.
And then she met Hunter.
Hunter Green, the reclusive aviation billionaire offers to act as her boyfriend to make the groom jealous and help her put a stop to the wedding. But his beautiful green eyes and the way he makes her feel when he touches her cause her to question her loyalty and feelings towards Nick. Oh, and he just happens to be Nick’s stepbrother.
Now she has feelings for Hunter that won’t be denied, but what does that mean for her future with Nick? Does she take a chance on a new relationship with Hunter or should she stay the course and reach for the happily ever after she’d always imagined with Nick?

The Billionaire Daddy
Brooks Barry is a corporate shark and one of the youngest billionaires in Australia.

He is good at what he does, but there’s something missing in his life. When one of his good friends falls in love, Brooks decides that maybe it’s time to come home and actually live in the mansion he built for his wife before she left him for her ex-boyfriend. Seeing Hunter and Bailey together makes Brooks think that maybe he could find that if he would only stop running from the heartbreak of his divorce.
Harper Fenwick has been a nanny for the last three years, but she’d never had to face this situation before. Her employer, Heather, has decided that she’s sick of being a single mother and instructs Harper to take her daughter, Piper, to her father, only he doesn’t know she exists. When she first lays eyes on Brooks Barry,

The Billionaire Muse
Mason Pressfield likes his quiet, solitary, ordered life. He likes his mostly nocturnal existence, working late into the night and sleeping through the day. He likes the quiet of his apartment, one of only two on his floor, and he especially likes being able to escape from people whenever he wants to. It’s not that he doesn’t like other people he just finds them so… draining. So what if two of his friends have found their forever partners, it didn’t mean he is missing out on anything. He’s not the relationship type, anyway, and he likes to keep the women in his life at arms length, he likes to have complete control over any and all interactions with them. So why is his new neighbour getting under his skin? And what the hell are those strange noises coming from her apartment in the middle of the night?
Abby Sutherland chose her apartment because it was only one of two on that floor and the building manager assured her that her neighbour was the type to keep to himself. She likes her anonymity and a quiet, unobtrusive neighbour is exactly what she needs. Abby has a secret that she is bound and determined to keep just that, secret, and the last thing she needs is a nosy neighbour butting in and trying to find all the skeletons in her closet.
When she first sees her new neighbour, it isn’t under exactly ideal conditions and may have even come across as slightly suspicious. And then he catches her again, also in a compromising positi
on and she doubts the wisdom of choosing this particular apartment. Even though she knows she needs to keep away from him, she is drawn to her tall, dark and handsome neighbour and her very active imagination begins to use him as her muse for all sorts of fantastic tales. But will the real Mason be a disappointment as she gets to know him, or is he exactly what she has been fantasising about all along?

The Billionaire Replacement
Declan was just being a nice guy. He saw a woman in need of assistance and he stepped in and pretended to be her fiancé. It was just the kind of guy he was; a knight in shining armour ready to rescue the damsel in distress. Yes, she was pretty – beautiful, gorgeous, a goddess – but he would have done it for anyone…probably. It was only fair that she return the favour when he found himself in need of a fake girlfriend. It wasn’t meant to go anywhere. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement and they both knew the rules going in. He wasn’t free to fall in love. There were…complications…that prevented him from pursuing her for anything more than just a fun time between adults. But you know what they say about best laid plans…
Brandi wanted it all – a career she loved, a happy home, the husband, the white picket fence, and the two point five kids. That was the dream. Unfortunately for Brandi when men looked at her they saw something other than a potential life partner, they saw an opportunity to tick something off their bucket list. Blonde, beautiful and bearing a striking resemblance to a certain famous blonde-haired, blue-eyed doll, Brandi was a Marilyn when she desperately wanted to be a Jackie. So when she met Declan and he treated her like a person instead of just a piece of arm candy, of course she was going to develop feelings for him. The only problem? Their little agreement. But then things got complicated…
