• CLEO •

Her innocence beams…

I’d be nothing but a fool to let this one go.


Scarlet White is the greatest treasure to ever enter my world. There’s no painted future without her contagious smile and quirky remarks inside of it.

She may think she’s all alone at times…but ever since our paths first crossed, that couldn’t be any less true.

And when bumping into each other on surprising grounds, I know I’d rather die before ever giving up on making Scarlet the one. Even when the angel discovers the man I truly am, there’s no turning back—for either one of us.


If you enjoy swoon-worthy men addicted to their woman of interest, you’ll heat up for the bad-boy alphas in my Alpha Billionaires series! In the third book of the series, fall in love with Scarlet and Cleo’s story! *Each book in this series is a short and steamy standalone read.*

Novella.

An older, rich, and handsome man swept the poor girl off her feet. Cleo saw Scarlet at a diner one night, got interested in her, and decided to show up every night just to see and talk to her. Eventually they gave in to the attraction, and got their HEA.

It was okay, I guess, but it didn't pull me into the story.🤷‍♀️

Fast Paced Hot and Steamy Age Gap Romance
Scarlet White is a young innocent girl working two jobs to pay her rent and put herself through school. It’s not easy especially when her shifts are cut back. Cleo Sullivan, an older alpha, man enters her life one day changing everything. He’s jaded from practicing law the past twenty years, but Scarlet becomes the light of his day. To him she is his princess. This is an enjoyable steamy forbidden romance with a swoon worthy billionaire that women dream of.

Our hero knew she was the one from the moment he met her. All he had to do was convince her.

This is book three of the series but each story is written as a standalone, so no prior reading is required.

The is a short and steamy story with an age-gap theme. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. Both the hero and heroine are well developed and likeable. Our hero may have to work a bit to get her attention, but once she truly sees him, things get really fun. And steamy. Overall, a highly enjoyable story and I look forward to more in this series.

Highly recommended.

This was a hot love story's

I like instant love connection stories. That's the love story of Cleo and Scarlet. Plus it's a little hot. He's the rich man, kind of having a bad day and needs to do something different to take his mind off business. He enters a diner and meets Scarlet, a cute little waitress. She's doing several jobs as well as attending college. They both want to know more about each other. Read it to see for yourself. I enjoyed it. Written by Cindy :)

I loved everything about this story except the sexy billionaire's name......Cleo.
Scarlet is struggling with two jobs and school. Cleo, a lawyer, is tired of all the negativity. Their encounter changes everything for them.
A short, intense, steamy read. Will keep this book to read again and again.

The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Cleo and Scarlet and does not let go. A chance encounter at a diner is enough to change their lives, forever.

great story

SCARLET & Cleo story was short and sweet yet witty. I wonder if Roger could have his story told. They complete each other.
