JANUARY, 2019 RENOVATING THE BILLIONAIRE By: Jean C. Joachim The Plot: Get rid of the house and sell the land. Bulldozing the broken-down man- sion billionaire Stryker Alexander West inherited solves an annoying problem. Busy launching a new venture, he doesn‟t have time to waste on sentiment. Taking down the historic building should be a slam-dunk. But Stryker comes up against a stone wall in the form of Landmark Chair Jess Lennox. Supporting her brother and juggling a hard life, Jess refuses to approve a permit to demolish the old house. No way will she let arrogant, wealthy Mr. West destroy her dream. Unwilling to accept defeat, Stryker‟s confident he can prevail. He insists staying in town is about winning and has nothing to do with heat from a determined blonde. Too stubborn to budge, Jess holds fast, struggling against her attraction to her worst enemy. Will the winner of the battle lose at love? Available in E-Book At: Amazon BN An Excerpt “Really, honey. Do the smart thing. Sign the demolition per- mit.” She turned, heat burning in her chest. “I‟m not your sweet- heart. I‟m not your honey. And I don‟t give a damn how many people bow to your money and power. I‟ll never, and I mean never, change my mind. I‟ll never give the okay to sign a permit to destroy that charming old place. Get over yourself and get out of my way.” “We‟ll see about that,” he said, a mocking smirk spreading across his face. He grabbed her arm and whirled her around. “If someone gets hurt in that old place, I won‟t be responsible. It needs to come down before something bad happens.” “Get your hands off me! No one‟s going to get hurt in there. Hasn‟t happened yet.” […] He stood so close to her, she could smell his spicy aftershave and feel the warmth of his breath. ***** Amazon Review by Kathy Cramer: “The heat is turned up when they decide to work together to bring the man- sion back to life, and boy do the sparks fly!” Author Contact Info: Price: $3.99 Length: 210 Pages Heat Level: TBA Website Facebook Twitter Amazon Author Page Biography: Jean Joachim is an award-winning, USA Today best-selling romance author whose books have hit the Ama- zon Top 100 list in the US and abroad since 2012.
