He has tradition ingrained in him…
She lives for the moment…
Will they find a common ground?
Lex Fitzgerald is not your average billionaire. He leads a double life as the conscientious head of his family and the pleasure-seeking rogue who parties hard and pushes the limits in and out of the bedroom. His two worlds are about to collide because of one woman, Jillian Finnegan.
Lex needs a secret weapon to defeat a competitor and finds it in Jillian Finnegan. He has no intention of letting her potty mouth, her crazy lifestyle, or her eccentric family get in his way. So when he makes her an offer, he expects her to accept. However, sparks start to fly when Jillian gives him a counteroffer and dares him to refuse. Has Lex finally met his match?
Let the seduction begin.

“Nice ride.”
Lex’s head snapped toward the sexy, feminine voice. A woman
in a red skydiving suit walked toward him, her eyes on his bike.

He tried not to cringe. She was everything he hated about
Hollywood. Her makeup was over the top, like she was trying to cover up all her
imperfections. And it was impossible to tell her hair color because of the
atrocious multicolored wig.

As though she felt his disapproval, she shoved her hands in
the pockets of her jumpsuit. The action drew his attention to her generous
hips.

“Thank you,” he said politely and hoped the woman would go

She stepped closer. “I like the modifications.”
Lex gave her a second glance, trying to see beyond the heavy
makeup. He noted her button nose, lush lips, and the gentle curve of her
cheekbone. “Modifications?”

“The handlebar, the chrome finish, and the hand-adjustable
rear suspension weren’t in the original Road King. The adjustable seats and the
fenders are also new.”

A woman who knew bikes. Now he was intrigued. He noted more
things about her. She wasn’t busty, but her posture said she was proud of
whatever she had under the suit. He was a curves man. Not something to brag
about, but curves and gentleness were two things he appreciated and enjoyed in
the opposite sex.

He couldn’t tell anything about her. Not her hair or the
color of her eyes hidden by the long fake lashes and hooded eyelids as she
studied his ride. Not that it mattered now. She could be wearing a sack over
her head and he’d find her interest in his bike fascinating.

“It can hit eighty in fifth gear and still run smoothly,”
Lex said. “You obviously know your bikes.”

“I’ve ridden some, modified a few. Road Kings are powerful

F4i were made by Honda and were favored stunt bikes. Eddie

Her head lifted, and their eyes met. She flashed a smile.
“The XD could do with a little tweaking here and there. How does RK handle on
the highway?”

He’d pushed the RK to one-forty with ease, but he was still
reeling from the effect of her smile and couldn’t respond. It transformed her
face, garish makeup and all. She had gorgeous turquoise eyes, darker on the
edges and lighter toward the center. Then what she’d said registered.

More tweaking? Eddie and his team of engineers had worked
their asses off to get the engine and proportions right. He reigned in his
annoyance and forced himself to focus on her question. What was it? The RK on
the road.

“Sounds like something I’d like to try,” she purred,
grinning while giving him a slow perusal that said she was flirting with him.
“I love rides. All kinds of rides,” she added softly, voice all husky, eyes
meeting his under the canopy of her fake lashes.

“I don’t do nice, but I could make an exception”—she
laughed, her eyes twinkling—“for the Road King.” She turned and threw over her
shoulder, “Nice chatting with you. Take care of that baby. It’s truly a king
among bikes.”

Lex didn’t say anything. He was still trying to find his
balance. Who knew a woman’s laugh could have such an effect on him. When she’d
paused at an exception, he’d expected
her to say him. He’d never been jealous of a bike until today.

His eyes followed her, loving the sway of her hips, which
was surely for his benefit. She confirmed it when she glanced over her
shoulder, winked, and laughed.

That rise she’d gotten out of him was now a throbbing

Foxy Rating = Five Stars!
This is my first read of this author and this is the first
book in the Infinitus Billionaire series.
Alexander ‘Lex’ Fitzgerald is an alpha male who also happens
to be a billionaire who likes to control. He has remained single up until now
after a promise made to his father to ensure his family and siblings achieve their
dreams. Now that he has carried out on that promise it’s time for him to not
only help his business but himself by getting a wife. He has a list but that
list just gets thrown out of the ballpark when he meets sassy but beautiful
Jillian.
Jillian is a go getter, a kick ass, bike riding stuntwoman.
She has been brought up in the fearless Finnegan troupe, a family made up of
bike stunt performing but amazingly dangerous brothers and her step-father. She
also provides stunts for Hollywood, a place she despairs of but ever since her
father banished her from the troupe, it is where she works with her uncle
Chris, a stunt co-ordinator. It is also where she meets the hot and sexy bike
riding, Lex.
The kindle just sizzled with this pairing, I loved it! The
chemistry and sensual touches and eye locking at the start and I just knew I
was in for a steamy read. But what I also loved was the suspense and intrigue
story that was intermingled. It was an in depth and embracing read for sure.
Then when the band of billionaires (aka Lex’s best buddies) were brought into
the mix it was an outright winner. What a fantastic start to a new series and a
definite one click for me from now on.
I loved the build-up and tension between Jillian and Lex.
Lex leads a sexy pursuit of Jillian and even though he knows the ‘contract’ is
no longer relevant, he just needs to persuade Jillian that this marriage
proposal will be that they last forever. I liked how Jillian just went for it,
yes there was a little angst and she held back by trying to look after herself
but when she finally lets Lex in it was fabulous! And as for the Armenian connection?
Inspired! I never saw that coming.
I just can’t wait for the continuation of Jilly and Lex’s
story plus getting to know more about the sexy billionaires with a heart –
Sloan, Dom, Rod, Cade, Lucien, Nate and my fellow Brit Aiden. This is going to
be a winning series, I just know! Five bike revving stars from me.
