Romance Series | Romance

Lilah Cole has her cap set for the "perfect husband" . At 29 her biological clock is ticking and she's ready for the stable marriage, husband and children. She has even devised a program for evaluating and choosing that man through the internet. Lilah fears following the paths of her mother and grandmother; falling in love, becoming pregnant and then losing the man. Lilah is an artist and jewelry designer who also works for Lucas Atraeus, an imposing man from a mega wealthy family of the Altraeus Group. Lucas is her goal, but it's his half-brother Zane that she desired 2 years ago and for whom she still secretly desires.

Zane was a homeless kid in L.A. as his mother frequently abandoned him while going from marriage to marriage. His father found him at 14 and brought him home to his family. The cat and mouse game continues between Zane and Lilah. Lilah is keeping her list of "availables" to consider and Zane is refusing to see what's in front of him. Sleeping together as a platonic relationship until Lilah finds her mate, becomes more than either bargains for. The more Lilah arranges her future dates, the more Zane fights his old belief that marriage and commitment are not for him given his trust issues that no one can love him for himself, but only for his wealth. When realization finally sets in she's the only one for him, Zane fears it's too late and he has lost the one person that truly loves him for the right reason.

Set in the beautiful island of Medinos, Australia and surrounded by the extremely wealthy, this love story will definitely grab the heart of every woman out there. Fantasizing about a gorgeous and sexy man keeps the heart pumping, let alone visualizing living in the wealth afforded them. A PERFECT HUSBAND is a fascinating tale that nearly reads itself. A completely enthralling and beautiful love story that ends far too soon. A PERFECT HUSBAND is a must read for all lovers.

And her billionaire boss fills every requirement. Too bad it's his wild brother, Zane Atraeus, who fills her fantasies. Handsome, dangerous and sexy, Zane is not marriage material. But Lilah's supposed relationship with his brother sets off a media storm. With Zane running interference, there's no way Lilah can avoid him. So what's a sensible girl to do but surrender to seduction?
