When our tyrannical CEO fires every wake-up-call service on the planet, what's a lowly admin to do? I secretly start making the calls myself. Luckily he doesn't seem to mind my get-your-ass-out-of-bed attitude. But now the calls are turning hot, like pay-by-the-minute hot, and he wants to take me out on a date. He's scouring Manhattan to find the sexy vixen who wakes him up every morning. No way can I let him know it's me!

*A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from NYT bestselling author Annika Martin * Max Hilton is my high school nemesis turned billionaire. And tomorrow I deliver his lunch order. In a cat costume. You know he's going to love it. He'll smile that smirky smile, sitting there all superior in his gleaming tower, the wealthiest and most notorious playboy in all of New York, the king of everything. Turns out it wasn't curiosity that killed the cat-it was mortification. I'm almost ready to quit my lunch delivery job, but then my roommate tosses me a copy of The Max Hilton Playbook: Ten Golden Rules for Picking up the Hottest Girl in the Room. It's the book that catapulted him to stardom. And it's my new bible. I'm going to use his own techniques against him. I'll wrap him around my little finger, bring him to his knees, and crush his steely heart. Call it payback for all the single girls who had to endure legions of losers wielding his legendary tactics. But seeing Max every day, I'm discovering a side of him I didn't even know existed--he's not the jerky guy I thought he was. He has this smile he shows only to me, and it melts my heart. His touch sends shiversdown my spine. And those forbidden kisses are driving me wild. Falling for him was not in my plan. Am I breaking his rules or will his rules break me first?

"The comedy in this book OH.MY.GOD is just fabulous. I was literally laughing while reading this book." 
~Bed and Books\nI’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella. 
My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed for a yacht vacation.\nI need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only.\nIf she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better. Should be easy. Right?\nApparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser.\nWhat were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most aggravating woman in the world.\nTabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet hamster. She loves Hello Kitty, and she gets under my skin like nobody else.\nAs if that’s not bad enough, the minute we step on deck, she thinks that certain people on the yacht are up to something shady—based completely on her soap opera knowledge. She won’t listen when I tell her she’s being ridiculous.\nBut as the days go by, I find that we’re actually having fun. And our fake kisses are heating up. And suddenly her wild theories aren’t sounding so strange after all…\n**The stand-alone romcoms in this series can be read in any order!

The Billionaire's Fake Fiance

I may be a shy, lowly letter carrier, but when my beloved apartment building is threatened by a mysterious and reclusive billionaire, I'm willing to push the envelope. I'm going to march right up to Malcolm Blackberg's fortress of fierceness and deliver a cease-and-desist notice he can't refuse. Except as soon as I get inside his gilded doors, things go sideways-I'm mistaken for Malcolm's court-ordered emotional intelligence coach-they think I'm acting out a wacky postal carrier cosplay. They drag me in, a sacrificial lamb for the big bad. Make that big, smolderingly sexy bad. Can I use this case of mistaken identity to get him to spare our building? Before I know it I'm flying around the country, up close and personality testing the most devilishly exasperating man I've ever met. He's scary for sure?but the way he sometimes looks at me turns my knees to jelly, and has me writing love letters to his gorgeous eyes, his mouthwatering smile, his impressive?package. Our coaching sessions are getting hot-hot-hot, but I can't let my guard down. If he ever finds out I'm a first-class fake, I'll lose everything I've ever loved in this world!

Return Billionaire to Sender

Most Eligible Billionaire: an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy

My imitation of our billionaire boss had everyone laughing. Well…almost everyone. Worst. Butt-dial. Ever!\nIt was just some silly fun. A goofy imitation of the faceless mega-billionaire who owns our faceless international mega-corporation. 
Yes there was laughter–screams of it. 
How was I to know that Dave from accounting had sat on the speakerphone, butt-dialing said mega-billionaire? Or that he’d listen to me make fun of him for ten straight minutes. 
Ummm…he could’ve announced himself! 
They say he’s a notorious rake. A paparazzi-punching scoundrel. An international jet-set bad boy. 
And now I hear he’s determined to track down the jokester. Me. 
Eep! 
But we’re tight like family in this office—no way will my co-workers rat me out, in spite of the pressure from the top. Plus, who brings the cookies? Moi! 
Things die down after a few months, and I’m pretty sure I’m safe. 
Thank goodness, because I have my hands full with our lazy, arrogant new office gopher. He has the worst work ethic I’ve ever seen—how did he even get hired? He doesn’t know how to work a vending machine, and he’s baffled when we send around a card to be signed for somebody’s birthday. It’s as if he’s never set foot in a place of business in his life. 
But little by little, we're drawing closer. He's funny. Sexy. Wicked. Still, he’s all wrong for me. I like respectable men with a work ethic. 
Also, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something… **** 
A romantic comedy standalone!
