Love Not Money: An Interracial BWWM Billionaire Romance -Barbie Ray

A handsome billionaire makes a shocking offer:

"Every year my company holds a retreat at a private island in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, I think what began as a simple show of appreciation has turned into some kind of marriage-mart. Apparently, I am a single man in possession of a good fortune. I would like you to attend this weekend with me as the woman I have been seeing for several months and who is in love with me."

What would I do for love?

I am Alisha Padgett, the CEO and attorney for HomeU Enterprises in West Palm Beach, Florida. My best friend died one year ago. Hannah and I were homeless teenagers when we met sixteen years ago. I overcame my childhood to earn business and law degrees while Hannah built and operated HomeU, our dream of a resort where the homeless were recognized as human and worthy of time, money, and hope.

Hannah was still my best friend when she died one year ago. But when the plane carrying Hannah and Stavros Antoniadis crashed into the Caribbean Sea, it almost took HomeU down with it. Stavros was thirty years older than Hannah and still married to Olivia Antoniadis, who was then battling stage-three pancreatic cancer. The death investigation revealed Hannah and Stavros's affair. Many of HU's donors were friends and acquaintances of the Antoniadis.

Then, Olivia died. And Nikos Antoniadis sued HomeU and me.

Nikos Antoniadis is a rich, handsome, powerful man. He is determined to destroy Hannah's memory and HomeU. I will fight to my dying breath before I let that happen.

What would I do for money?

And then he makes a shocking offer: Spend a weekend at his luxury resort on his private island pretending to be madly in love with him in front of his company's most successful clients for one weekend, and he will dismiss the lawsuit and donate three hundred thousand dollars to HomeU.

I say, yes. I have to. I have to save HomeU and Hannah's memory. And I have a secret that Nikos Antoniadis can never know. I have to get rid of this lawsuit and get Nikos Antoniadis out of my life as soon as possible. Hannah's memory and HomeU depend on it.

And then I fall in love with Nikos Antoniadis.

And I find out what he really wants from me.

Chapter One: Alisha

Tall, tanned, and fit, Nikos Antoniadis prowls up the courtroom aisle toward me. Sun-streaked tawny hair frames his lean, square face. He could be a soap opera star with those angles. I glimpse sculpted torso through the button of his seersucker shirt. His toned thighs and confident gait shape straight-leg cotton pants. He looks like what he is: Rich, handsome, virile, man.

We are in Judge Bear's courtroom on the top floor of the Palm Beach County courthouse. A glass wall looks over the West Palm Beach waterfront to the yachts on the Intracoastal, the mansions of Palm Beach island, and the endless Atlantic Ocean beyond. We are here because Nikos Antoniadis is suing me. I have been arguing against his henchmen for three months. He seeks to prove that I am a liar and a thief.

Today is the first time Antoniadis himself has appeared. He is the dynamic force behind The Antoniadis Company. That is how they refer to themselves; The Antoniadis. These builders of luxury resorts for the uber-rich. The Antoniadis Company. The Antoniadis Palm Beach. The Antoniadis Malibu. The Antoniadis Ibiza. And now, The Antoniadis himself.
