Protected By My Billionaire Daddy

by Scarlett Score

One reckless night with my billionaire boss...
Left me fake-engaged.
Secretly pregnant.
And tangled in a billion-dollar lie.

Julian Roberts is ruthless in the boardroom and lethal in bed.
I took the secretarial job to fight for custody of my siblings–
Not to fall for a single dad twice my age who stares at me like he already owns me.

One impulsive night.
Now he needs a wife to close a billion-dollar deal. Fast.
He offers a deal—no strings.

I say yes—for my siblings. For stability.
Now I'm living in his mansion.
But the longer I stay, the harder it is to ignore the way he protects me, touches me, wants me.

He says it’s business—but when he holds me at night,
One stolen glance. One scorching kiss. And suddenly, I’m back in his arms.
His hands on my skin. His mouth on mine. His name tasted like sin on my tongue.

Falling for him wasn’t part of the deal—but it’s already too late. I’m in love and… pregnant.
Now his ex is digging for dirt, and I’m getting threats meant to scare me off.
But I can’t leave—not until I win custody.

Now I have everything to lose—my siblings, my secret… and the man I was never supposed to love.

If you love age-gap heat, one-night stands, fake relationships, a surprise baby, and add in billionaires who fall first and fall hard—you’re going to devour this one. HEA guaranteed.

Julian needs a wife to seal a business deal. Lily needs stability to get her young siblings back for good. This is a match made on paper or is it fate having a hand in the bigger scheme of things. It is an electric and emotional story. It has push and pull with a lot of drama from an ex wife in the mix. Lily discovers a brother she didn’t know she had when he confesses that they share a father. It could be a very confusing and complicated story but it is so heart warming as well. Daniel finally has a champion who will listen to him and defend him when needed. Lily is a very loving and positive woman. Julian discovers this is what he needs in his professional and personal life. I throughly enjoyed this book.

This book has so many tropes going for it all of which makes it a story worth reading. Julian and Lily are complex characters that adds depth to the storyline and plot along with the supporting characters. I loved the transformation between them as they evolved around her trying to get custody of her siblings and him trying to look more responsible for a business deal by way of a fake marriage. I loved the characters and felt the connection between the characters.

Billionaire for the win!

Scarlett baby I’m too nosey. I really be wanting to know the in between parts like did her dad ever reach out and I kind of want his POV. My favorite part well one of them was how she loved and showed attention to his son cause his mom was a pos. I wanted to know or have a breakdown of why the MMC and the ex wife weren’t together but her character throughout the book definitely showed it. I definitely recommend if you love a forced marriage billionaire story

Allow a full, long day for this sweet, steamy, laugh-out-loud, contemporary, urban, age-gap, second-chance, single-parents, custody romance, involving a billionaire daddy, a fake relationship, enemies-to-lovers, families, forbidden-love, pregnancy, romance, and a triangle with a jealous ex. My favorite sentence was "But our relationship is not sexual at all." Ch 8

This was my first book by Scarlett Score. I enjoyed the story line. Watching Lily and Julian’s relationship develop was sweet. I enjoyed that Lily kept him on his toes and would push the boundaries. She always did it in such a soft but nonsense way. Lily and Daniel’s relationship was special and really pulled on emotions when she spoke up on his behalf. It was a great blended family story line. Great easy read. Finished it in like three days.

Agreement and Feelings

Julian and Lily enter into a mutually beneficial agreement. As real feelings develop, so does the drama from his ex-wife. Lily was a beautiful soul that would do anything for her siblings, which was a great trait for her character. Additionally, the chemistry she has with Julian was worth the read.

A fake engagement, she’s his secretary, forced proximity spicy read. Lily is trying to get custody of her siblings, and Julian is trying to shake off his ex wife. Who is causing too many problems. Enjoyable!

This entertaining storyline has drama, humor, chemistry, an arrangement, real feelings, and a possible HEA. The complex MCs are defined, likable, engaging and perfect for each other.

That book was written so well that the characters just fall together so beautifully. You’re in this world of romance and you’re stuck in the feelings of love, giddiness, and happiness. But the twist and the drama that is mixed with this will have you so astonished and shocked.

[Meghan McClendon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick read that was a slow burn, fake relationship, and age gap romance with a billionaire!! I mean what more could you ask for? This book was steamy and fun to read!

[Jenn E · Rating 2 out of 5]

good story but…..

While I enjoyed the story it was written really fast and some parts seemed choppy. Like it all didn’t flow or connect always.

[Inge Mosch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the first book of Scarlett Score I’ve read. I really liked the story. It was a fast paced book, the spice came fast, but the real love was a little slower. I always love the accidental pregnancy trope. It was a fun, easy read and I really loved it!
