Book 1: Maid for the Billionaire
Dominic Corisi knows Abby Dartley’s the distraction he’s looking for, especially since having her takes more persuading than he’s used to. When business forces him to fly to China, he takes her along on his terms. No promises. No complications. Just sex.
Abby’s the responsible one. She doesn’t take risks, especially with men—until Dominic. He’s infuriating and intoxicating, a heady combination. Their trip to China revives a long forgotten side of Abby, but also reveals a threat to bring down Dominic’s company. With no time to explain her actions, Abby must either influence the outcome of his latest venture and save his company or accept her role as his mistress and leave his fate to chance. Does she love him enough to risk losing him forever?
Book 2: For Love or Legacy
Stephan Andrade has planned revenge since Dominic Corisi unscrupulously took over his father’s company. Corisi Enterprises’ reputation depends on the success of a new software network for China; Stephan sees a chance to regain his legacy. Dominic’s sister, Nicole, asks Stephan for help and it’s an opportunity to exact his revenge.
It all goes smoothly until he falls in love.
Nicole Corisi will lose her inheritance if she doesn’t find a way around terms of her father’s will, but she’ll have to partner with her brother’s rival to do it. As pretense becomes painfully real, Nicole has to choose between Stephan and the family he’s driven to destroy.
Book 3: Bedding the Billionaire
Lil Dartley’s life is upside down. Her steadfast and predictable sister is marrying a billionaire and needs help planning her wedding quickly. Years of rebellion haven’t prepared Lil for handling billionaires or paparazzi.
Jake Walton knows a train wreck when he sees one. Lil’s trouble from the start, but her sister is marrying his best friend, and he has to help her or the wedding will be in the news for the wrong reason. Keeping Lil safe would be easier if she didn’t drive him crazy both in and out of the bedroom.
Book 4: Saving the Sheik
Rachid bin Amir al Hantan is fighting for the sovereignty of his small country. He needs to find some powerful allies quickly. Attending Dominic Corisi’s wedding is more about reconnecting with old friends. The last thing he needs is the distraction of a woman.
Zhang Yajun’s a self-made billionaire who can’t believe her friend dared to kiss Sheikh Rachid before the wedding ends.
When impulsive words lead to impulsive actions, these two discover the last thing you’re looking for is the one thing that saves you.
Book 5: Rise of the Billionaire
Dreams of Alethea helped Jeremy Kater survive a difficult childhood. He now has influential friends who owe him favors, and he’s determined to become the man Alethea is interested in: rich and dangerous. Jeisa Borreto is hired to help him morph into that man. She’d enjoy the job if it weren’t tearing her heart apart.
How can she help him change once she realizes she’s falling in love with the man he’s always been?
Book 6: Breaching the Billionaire
Alethea’s at a crossroads. It’s always been her and her BFF, Lil, against the world. Now Lil has met Prince I-Have-My-Own-Helicopter Charming and reconnected with her family. Alethea’s on the outside looking in, justifying who she's been to people who’ve never understood her.

About the author
Ruth Cardello
126 books2,952 followersRuth Cardello hit the NYTs and USA Today for the first time back in 2012. Millions of sales are evidence that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers.
What Kindle Reviewers write about her:
"Wow hot at every page. Heart stoping, fear raging, mind blowing wonderful."
"I'm a true fan of Ms. Cardello. I ran on to her first book a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I could go on and on about the story like of this book, but I'm not. All of her books are total page turners, unique, heart wrenching, and I love them all. There isn't two alike in the bunch and I feel like i know the characters personally. I personally read 97 authors books. And I buy every book they put out. This author is in my top 10. Great job and keep them coming."
"Love this series. Got me to start reading again. I look forward to the next book. Thank you for giving me the love of reading back."
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.

Author Ruth Cardello is a must read. Her message of love, family and friendship is the driving force behind every series from the Legacy Collection, to the Andrades, and the Barringtons. The message is clear. Whether by blood or by some other connection, family begins in the heart and the heart always has tons of love to give. I'm a fan for life.

The Legacy Collection by R. Cardello contains all six books in this series.
Book 1: Maid for the Billionaire
Dominic Corisi knew instantly that Abigail Dartley was just the distraction he was looking for, especially since having her took a bit more persuading than he was used to. So when business forces him to fly to China, he decides to take her with him, but on his terms. No promises. No complications.
For Love or Legacy
Nicole Corisi will lose her inheritance if she doesn't find a way around the terms of her father's will, but she will have to partner up with her estranged brother's rival to do it. As pretense becomes painfully real, Nicole will have to choose between Stephan and the family he is driven to destroy.
Bedding the Billionaire
Lil Dartley's life is upside down. Her previously steadfast and predictable sister is marrying an influential billionaire and needs help planning the wedding of the century in less than a month. Years of middle class rebellion have not prepared Lil for handling diplomats or paparazzi.
Saving the Sheikh
Rachid bin Amir al Hantan is fighting for the sovereignty of his small country. He needs to find some powerful allies - and fast. Attending the wedding of Dominic Corisi is as much about reconnecting with old friends as it is about celebrating nuptials. The last thing he needs right now is the distraction of a woman.
Rise of the Billionaire
Dreaming of Alethea gave Jeremy Kater the strength to survive a difficult childhood. Now that he has influential friends who owe him some big favors, he’s determined to become the kind of man Alethea would be interested in: rich and dangerous. Jeisa Borreto was hired to help Jeremy morph into that man. It’s a job she would enjoy, if it weren’t tearing her heart to pieces.
Breaching the Billionaire: Alethea's Redemption
Breaching the Billionaire: Alethea's Redemption (Book 6 of the Legacy Collection)
Alethea is at a crossroad. For as long as she could remember, it was her and her best friend, Lil, against the world. Now that Lil has met Prince "I have my own helicopter" Charming and reconnected with her family, Alethea is on the outside looking in, justifying who she's always been to people who have never understood her. When she uncovers a looming threat to Lil's family, she's determined to save them, even after they tell her not to get involved and assign their best man to stop her.
An incredible box set, excellent written with lots and lots of hours to keep the reader entertained.

Very good series
Definitely read in order! The story begins with Dominic and Abby and ends with Alethea and Marc. While there is the story of each getting with their forever someone there is also an amazing underlying plot of someone going after Dominic. The storylines are all different yet integrated. I loved the continuity!

Terrific!
Loved this complete series! What a delightful way to read about each one's story as one long reading event! Each book is complete in itself with common situations and people continuing with each entry! Dominic and Abby's story, the first one, is my favorite because it is the start of their connection with everyone. Wonderful, enjoyable reading experience!

Loved this series!!!
I don’t know where to start! What a wonderful experience reading and living through these stories!!! The writer did a great job keeping the reader engaged. Jeremy’s story slowed down the narrative but was a necessary link that needed to happen to tie it all together! WELL DONE!

Wonderful series
The Andrade and Corisi clans make one heck of a series. There is suspense, the family loyalty, sensuality, love and technology intrigue. Can’t wait to start the next box set. Highly recommend this author.

I have read 22 of her books and loved every one of them.
In fact I liked them so well, I planned to read them again.
I just have to wait a few years and they become like new.
I am 77 years old. What can I say.

Great series
These books center around the love and except stance of family. Each character faces a crisis that is overcome by working as a team, excepting each others' faults, and loving them regardless. You will laugh, cry, cheer, hold your breath, and then rejoice.
