About the author
Jeannette Winters
100 books352 followersJeannette grew up in a large family, number ten out of eleven children, eight of them being older brothers. She quickly developed a great sense of humor, mostly from necessity. One of her greatest joys is sitting on the porch where they were all raised and hearing the stories from years gone by. Quietly laughing to herself, she notices how they embellish the stories more and more each year.
Storytelling was passed down from her grandfather and mother. Jeannette caught the bug at a very young age. If she didn’t have her head in a book, then she was off somewhere with a notebook, jotting down stories of what she would write if one day she became an author. Although the notebook may have vanished, the stories are still vivid and waiting for the right time to be told.
Despite having an amazing family, there have also been some sorrows in her life, including the loss of loved ones. Over the years, Jeannette has spent countless hours volunteering for different organizations and acting as a caregiver to those dearest to her. As a result, supporting the elderly became of utmost importance.
As she approached a milestone birthday in 2015, she decided to take her passion for writing and blend it with her desire to continue to help others. As she writes her stories, she hopes they touch someone’s life. Within the layers of the romance, the foundation remains throughout and is one that is dear to her; make a difference in someone’s life each day!
In 2016 she met someone who encouraged her to push herself even further and try her hand at spicy intrigue. One year later she has four books in this new series and each one pushing her limits just a bit further.
Like the wind, Jeannette’s life changed directions several times over the years, yet one constant remains: her desire to leave this Earth a little better than when she entered it as she tries to live by these words, Make your mark on the world today as your acts of kindness is all anyone will remember in years to come!

A Must Read!!!
Napoleon "Leon" Oliveira never allowed himself to get distracted from achieving his dreams. He made one tiny mistake and now he had to made up for it.
He never expected for his world to turn on its axis when he walked into a seminar by accident. Meeting the gorgeous and spitfire Myla was well worth it. He hated lying to her but he couldn't just walk away from getting to know her.
Myla Alluri (we first met her in HIS FOR FIVE NIGHTS ) was always told that lying was the only thing that would protect her. Growing up in Tabiq wasn't easy for her, telling a lie was like breathing. She was given a change to break free from her past when Alex Henderson took her to the US.
Now she was studing at Boston university. She was afraid of getting too attach to the Hendersons. She was protecting herself from heartache when the time would come for her to say goodbye.
She found herself tutoring Leon. As they spend more time together, the dynimac in their relationship changed. She hated lying to him but the idea of putting the people who meant a lot to her in jeopardy was unacceptable.
In the end Myla did what was right for everyone involve. It was great to catch up with the Henderson clan. Love the bond between Ziva, Alex and Myla.
Leon and Myla got their new beginnings.
NEW BEGINNINGS is a novella in Jeannette Winters' BARRINGTON BILLIONAIRES series...It was fast-paced, alluring and captivating.
P. S. Looking forward to Logan's story! ;)

New Beginning
Myla and Leon met by chance but her spunk and knowledge captured him before anything else. I enjoyed the growth and understanding of the Henderson’s in retrospect of each other and how they treat Myla as a little sister and well as for Leon... he held his own. Although, Myla holds his heart.
This was a great way to give her a fresh start after having a pivotal role in Alex book. Honorary sister works well for her and having a vision and purpose works even better.

The Lie
Going to University to study to be a Teacher is what she has always wanted. Being rescued by a wealthy man who had ties to a crooked government was an eye opener. When he offered to take her to America so she could get the Education she craved was amazing. The journey finding love was also amazing.

Myla has come to the states to study. Plans are made. Risks are taken. A chance meeting with Napoleon leads to a tutoring session where assumptions are made based on ones identity. Time is a factor. Things are not always what they seem. New experiernces are awaiting but at what risk.

fate
moving to Boston to find her calling. Myla never thought that it was Napoleon Oliveira. Being in the wrong class Leon didn't think that fate might have brought him to a woman he couldn't escape from is thought.
I loved this short story, glad that the series continues.

Sweet
Leon and Myla were meant for each other. The Henderson world is expanding and I for one will be so sad when this series ends. A sweet, sweet love story.

I really love the way this book was written. What an excellent story! We all should analyze our lives every now and then to see if the dreams and goals we are striving for are still for the same reason we want. Leon treats Myla with such love and respect. It’s the great attention to details written about every character that makes it so easy to follow along and enjoy getting right involved with the book. My favorite part was the Mystery Hour the four of them went on and challenged boys vs girls. Made me smile and laugh. 5 full stars!
