Biotech Billionaires: Book 1

The Spare

When a charming billionaire and a reclusive lawyer tie the knot to outsmart an inheritance scheme, sparks fly and unexpected love blossoms in this sizzling romance from Ava Rani, author of The Spare and The Heir.

Sometimes love outsmarts the best laid plans.

Penelope Chen-Astor ran away from the stifling expectations of her wealthy family in Singapore for an independent life as a high-powered Manhattan lawyer. But familial duty comes crashing back when her grandfather’s will demands she be married for a year to claim her inheritance. She’d walk away from it all, but her mother’s assets are at stake too, and this is the only way Penelope can see to protect her.

Enter Xander Sutton, the billionaire co-founder of investment group Dawn Capital. With his effortless charm and easy smiles, he’s used to winning hearts, but Penelope’s always proven immune to him. When she’s backed into a corner and asks Xander to masquerade as her husband for a year, he sees a golden opportunity to finally win over the only person who’s kept him at arm’s length—but the closer they get, the harder it becomes to play pretend.

What begins as a strictly business arrangement quickly spirals into steamy encounters and genuine emotions. When meddling relatives, corporate espionage, and high-stakes legal battles come into play, Xander and Penelope will have to decide if the inheritance is all they stand to lose when the year is done...

From the bustling streets of Manhattan to the serene beaches of the Hamptons and the skyscrapers of Singapore, The Charmer is the third and final novel in the Biotech Billionaires universe.

The Heir

Gossip Girl meets Scandal in this sparkling romance about a newly minted CEO and the “billionaire babysitter” hired to rehab his playboy image—but falling in love could be the worst scandal of all. He needed a perfect year. She needed a way out. After years of living up to his reckless reputation, Henry Amari is ready to step into the role of CEO at his family’s prestigious company, Amari Global. But the board isn’t so sure Henry can leave old habits behind, so they give him one year to prove himself worthy and hire a top PR firm to help Henry fix his public persona. Just one problem: when his new consultant-slash-babysitter arrives, Henry’s humiliated to discover that she’s the gorgeous woman he tried to flirt with at a party—who heartily rejected him. Selena Montez, the “aristocrat whisperer,” needs to complete one last job before she can leave New York City. After a disastrous experience with another socialite family, she needs this account to be a win. Even if Henry pulls her guard down with his authenticity and kindness—this has to be just business. But as she and Henry grow closer, her secret connection to high society starts to catch up to her. That, paired with an attraction they can’t fight, means Selena herself might be the greatest threat to Henry’s reputation. With a highly coveted acquisition, and Henry’s position as CEO, on the line—can love survive the scandal? The Heir is the enthralling second book in a series of interconnected standalones in the Biotech Billionaires series.
