The Billionaire and the Beautician by Mallory Monroe
Billionaire businessman Vincent Fontaine has no interest in love. Thrice married and thrice divorced, love never had anything to do with it. He married those women because he hated being alone and wasn’t interested in trying out samples every night of the week. But after divorce number three, he’s alone again. And NOT searching for divorce number four. He leaves DC for his quiet estate in Connecticut for some much-needed R & R. A man alone, he decides, is going to be his fate.
Until he meets Ricki, a woman alone with a sassy body and a mouth to match.
Rasheda “Ricki” Richardson is nobody’s pushover. A Brooklyn hairstylist, she’s struggling just to make ends meet. But when she gets word that her beloved baby sister is in serious trouble, she drops everything and hurries back to her hometown to help. On the way home her car breaks down and Vincent, taking a break from his own drive back home at a truck stop café, reluctantly decides that if he doesn’t help her, some trucker with ill-intent just might.
What starts out as a tumultuous acquaintance and a turbulent ride to her hometown, turns into a friendship that cannot be shaken and a love affair that cannot be broken apart. Although everybody seems to be doing their best to break them.
But Vince and Ricki are about to learn the hard way that although the love they share is worth fighting for, it will come at a cost. And will the turmoil turn love to hate, or solidify their bond forever?
