Rehabbing the Billionaire (adult contemporary romance, 2024)
Read on eBook or Kindle Unlimited exclusively on Amazon!
“Heartless” Nick Hartshorn is a billionaire, CEO, and a colossal pain in the ass, as far as his long-suffering executive assistant, Ellie Kerr, is concerned. But when his latest personal indiscretion, which might derail a career-defining business deal, occurs the morning of her 30th birthday, aka the night she plans to finally get around to losing her virginity, they’re both seeking a distraction — only to discover a surprising chemistry that’s worth exploring … for one night only.
It turns out, one night isn’t nearly enough time for Nick (who called Ellie the wrong name for six years), so the dirty-talking CEO proposes (badly). Ellie, a sassy ray of sunshine with an unexpected backbone of steel counter-proposes (successfully), leading to a marriage of convenience that allows Nick to paint over his scandalous past and give Ellie the financial freedom to further her education.
Unfortunately, this marriage of convenience is anything but. Nick navigates his growing dissatisfaction with his career as Ellie’s return to school goes differently than she imagined. The two of them either have to learn to give themselves — and each other — a break, or risk losing the love that’s right in front of them, before it’s too late.
This is an open door modern marriage of convenience workplace romance about the healthcare industry, the ethics of billionaires, and not being your parents.

Praise for Rehabbing the Billionaire
I consider myself lucky to be a beta reader for Rehabbing the Billionaire, because this is a fun debut! I always love a workplace romance that teaches me about certain professions, and I appreciated learning about the physical therapy industry. And spice lovers will rejoice because this book delivers the heat from the get-go. Add in some healthy anticapitalism, and you’ve got a great billionaire romance!
– Alyssa Jarrett (author of Love, Apptually)
I absolutely flew through this book! I couldn’t wait for the billionaire to realize that he loved the wife he so conveniently “bought”…and that his existence is a policy failure
-Cath (Beta Reader)
This was an easy-to-read, steamy, and witty read set among the charming cozy backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. Everyone loves a grumpy/sunshine story and this was an excellent read.
-Taylor (Amazon review)
I love reading a variety of books….from Hallmark romance to Sci Fi to mysteries. After an intense thriller I’d often turn to Harlequin romance as a change in pace. I just spent the majority of today reading my daughters first published book and I loved it. It’s steamy and fun and more steamy and more fun.
-Beth (my mommy and physical therapist expert)
Other projects coming soon, including:
Pulling Focus, contemporary romance. Aspiring filmmaker Natalie Green falls for real for her long-time celebrity crush Rowen Kelly, child star turned director, on the set of an independent film, where they both must wrestle with the consequences of parasocial relationships, the inherent sexism of the film industry, and how they see themselves and each other despite and because of those pressures.
Good Deal, contemporary romance. Asexual event planner Meg Carroway needs a fake boyfriend to get her toxic ex to back off, and unfortunately for her, the best candidate is Cam MacKenzie, ex-boyfriend of Meg’s childhood bully and whose price for fake dating is that Meg organizes the one event she wants to avoid… their 10 year high school reunion.
Good Catch, contemporary romance. Cinephile Nora Bly is forced to join forces with her workplace nemesis, the movie-hating, puppy-stomping (probably) Penn Spade, when the Hollywood studio lot they both work on is in danger of going under due to shady business practices by a new manager and the encroaching VC and AI threats to the film industry as a whole.
The Curse Breaker, paranormal romance. Ivy Quinn is a cursed woman with a martyr complex, and Asher Scott is professional cursebreaker with a savior complex. Together, they’re a disaster of poorly constructed coping mechanisms and grief, but they also might be just the antidote the other needs, if they can only stop getting in their own way.
