Title: Setting Up the Billionaire: A Secret Billionaire Romance (Billionaire Makeover Romance Book 1)
Not all billionaires wear a suit and tie.
Nanny/grad student Eliza is playing matchmaker for all the wrong reasons, but all the right reasons, too. Really.
Henry is a lost soul, literally.
However, he’s also a billionaire cowboy in disguise. A really good disguise.
As in, Eliza assumes he’s a homeless hobo in need of food and a bath.
Henry seems perfect for Eliza’s plan for covertly matchmaking her horrible boss. A little soap and water, a shave and a tuxedo, and voilá! Prince charming!
Plus, he gets off the streets. It’s a win-win.
Except after the makeover, will secret billionaire Henry’s charm be so irresistible that Eliza isn’t setting up the billionaire anymore, she’s setting herself up for a fall?
This gender-flipped fairytale retelling of My Fair Lady and the classic Greek myth Pygmalion and Galatea is set on San Nouveau Island, a fictional, windswept island exclusively for the superrich off the coast of beautiful California.
