Hard Hearted (Billion Dollar Hearts, #1) / Billion Dollar Hearts (ePub)

James Livingston has been dumped! He's a billionaire! He doesn't get dumped! Unfortunately for him, this time he has and he now has a handful of days to find a new date for a destination wedding being held on his family's private island off of Cape Cod - preferably a date that has no designs on marrying him. Which is a bit difficult because just about every woman James knows wants to marry him. Except James isn't the marrying kind. He also doesn't believe in love.

Callie Morgan has known James for years. After all, she's his sister's old college roommate and current best friend. Except that Callie doesn't exactly move in the same social circles that James does. She does, however, know exactly what kind of man James is and always has been. She's also under no illusions about him as a potential lover, let alone boyfriend. In other words, in James' eyes, she's the perfect date.

When James makes Callie an offer she can't refuse, she quickly finds herself swept up in a whirlwind, week-long adventure she could have never imagined. Is Callie strong enough to resist the so-called "Livingston Magic" and keep James at arm's length or will she be seduced by the man she's had a crush on for years? And will James ever realize that the woman he's been looking for has been right under his nose all along?
