The Grumpy Billionaire
(2022)(The seventh book in the Eastport Bay Billionaires series)
A novel by Tru Taylor
When we last saw each other eleven years ago, I would have bet everything I owned, would’ve bet my mother’s life that Reid Mancini loved me. I knew that because I loved him, too. Madly, passionately, with every fiber of my seventeen-year-old being.
And that was why I made sure after our high school graduation night I would never see him again.
So much for that plan.
My new TV reporting job in Rhode Island is both good and bad. Good because it’s a great step up career-wise. Bad because it’s a little too close to home… and to him, the only guy who’s ever tempted me to let go and love someone.
Now my first love is all grown up with a full-grown man’s size and power and an oversized cocky attitude to match.
With the world’s largest social media network to his name, he’s got all the fame and fortune he ever wanted and then some—and no doubt a harem-full of willing women falling at his feet.
Oh, and he hates me.
Not that I can blame him.
He has no idea why I abandoned him so suddenly… or how often I still think of him. He won’t find out either—not if I have anything to do with it.
Everything would’ve been fine if he’d just stuck to his famously aloof no-talking-to-the-media policy. But no, he’s decided to give his first ever television interview. And he says he’ll talk only to me.
If I could turn him down without losing my job, I’d do it in a heartbeat. That’s how desperately I don’t want to be in the same room with him, talking one-on-one, on camera for God’s sake. But in TV news, ratings rule—and hot, hard-to-get billionaires are ratings gold.
So I have to spend a week with him getting the story. It’s the only way to keep my job.
I just hope I can keep my secrets in the process.
It’s only a week. I can do this. Seven days. Two ex-lovers. One last chance.
Now we’ll see exactly how much of a difference a decade can make… and how impossible it may be to leave the past behind.
THE GRUMPY BILLIONAIRE is a hot small town romance take on Sleeping Beauty. It’s a standalone enemies to lovers, second chance romance filled with heart, heat, and grumpy billionaire romcom fun!
Like all the books in the Eastport Bay Billionaires series, it can easily be read alone, but they're even more fun when read together! Here's the series so far:
Bookworm and the Beast- enemies to lovers, forced proximity, growly hero and sunshine heroine, slow burn billionaire romance fun!
Bargain with the Bachelor- fake dating, secret crush, roommates romance
The Baby and the Blueblood- secret baby, second chance, royal romance!
The Baby-whisperer and the Brute- Nanny and single dad, billionaire athlete, virgin heroine, forbidden romance!
The Bombshell and the Bodyguard- Best friend's little sister, Ex-military hero, Celebrity/Bodyguard Romance
Scarlett and the Big Bad Billionaire- Enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, fake engagement romance
Note: This book was previously published under the titles Still Yours and Running from Romeo. This edition is greatly expanded and revised with an added male POV for even more grumpy billionaire fun.
