Book 1 of 3: Billion Dollar Man

See all formats and editions

I never wanted wealth, power, or the responsibility that goes with it.

Making a difference by fighting fires was my dream. That and a pretty girl to love at night.

But life didn’t ask me.

After struggling through the business world, I finally have a chance to return home to chase my dreams.

The girl next door, my best friend’s little sister, was there waiting. And she's all grown up.

But she’s not too thrilled to see me back.

But I’ll change that. I can’t help but fight for what I know we could be, no matter what it costs me.

When I finally start to melt her heart, life calls me back to the city, back to the grind thanks to tragedy.

It’s her or my future, and I have no choice in the matter.

My father’s company is my only legacy, or is it?

A little life is growing inside of her, and that changes the game. My self sacrifice doesn't seem so damn important anymore.

I might have been forced into becoming a billion dollar man, but I’ll always be a small town guy at heart.

And that pretty girl that stole my heart all those years ago?

She's gonna be mine. Like she always has been.

This is book 1 of a trilogy. There is a cliffhanger at the end. You will have to buy book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

Editorial Reviews

Review

See what other Amazon readers are saying about Billion Dollar Man...

"The characters are well developed and intriguing. The scenes are so graphically detailed it comes alive before your eyes. Ali keeps the suspense high as she leads our strong characters to their destination. Remarkable job Ali, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us."

"She's his best friend's little sister, so there's lots of unrealised feelings simmering just under the surface. Add in the secret his father kept from everyone, and suspense and danger get added to the mix. What that means is that Ben and Mila's story is a emotional read that's as much mystery thriller romance. Can they save the brother/friend relationship after news got out of them dating?"

"This book was full of stress and turmoil but in the end it had a happy ending. Mila and Ben certainly had to jump through hoops before they both got what they wanted. Lots of steam and action. There were quite a few twists in this book. Have lots of time because you won't want to put it down."

"Superb storytelling. The right amount of drama, hotness, sexiness and romance with characters who steal the show. Get ready to enjoy an all around fun book. Ali doesn't disappoint. She knows what we crave and goes above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied."

"A well written story with many parts that makes it not only a complicated but compelling read. This is avery enjoyable and entertaining read; and one I sat til the wee hours reading.Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. Well done."

"I loved this story. It is the kind that you can identify with the characters and immerse yourself in the story. Very well written and characters to win the heart make this book a must read."

"An amazing book. Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down.Wonderfully written with strong characters. I want to read more from this author."

"The great character and storyline development made this book a very enjoyable and entertaining read! The chemistry between Ben and Mila was off the charts and they were such an engaging couple that I was glued to my kindle!"

"Oh my word. Another amazing book by this author. I'm not into spoilers, so I will just say another great read by this woman. She never disappoints. Read one and then you're hooked. Promise."

"Ali Parker has another five star winner. Well written with strong, likable characters and an entertaining storyline. A story about dreams, obligations and true love.Often they overlap and we find out what's really important. A moving and emotional story that's about choices and determining what's really important."

WOWZA this one knocked my sock off!!

I have loved Ali & Weston Parker's books and it amazes me that with each storyline & plot with every new book seems better than the last! I think most readers will agree an almost 500 page romance seems like alot probably too much but once I began reading this one I was thinking it should even be longer! Yes I was shocked myself, but this book will suck you in & you won't want this hang on to the edge of your seat, suspenseful read! It starts out with hot & sexy firemen so it's got to be awesome, but when tragedy strikes a 2nd time and it seems a bit too familiar the twists-n-turns in this storyline begins....... Ben had moved to New York City several years ago after he inherited 1/2 of his dad's company when his dad & stepmom died unexpectedly in a plane crash. Recently Ben decided to move back to his hometown and was trying to get accustomed to his new job as a fireman. Mila, his best friend's younger sister, who's a ICU nurse helps Ben work through some things he sees and feels as a fireman. As it happens, Ben also now sees Mila all grown up which doesn't make Ben's childhood friend too happy. It seems like this one is your typically BFF'S younger sister romance, but that assumption would be oh so wrong because what unfolds is a full length read & a plot filled with lots of drama & suspense, some love, angst & lust, a side serving of the mafia & kidnapping, a bit of romance, and heck yes, steam! This book packs a punch as only the Parker clan can write; Billion Dollar Man is not a book you want missing from your Kindle library so I definitely recommend one-clicking this hot & sexy read by Ali Parker, Billion Dollar Man!
I am voluntarily leaving this voluntary review, but for full disclosure I did receive an review copy, ARC, of this book but loved this book so much I also purchased it myself too!

Drawn out and disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018

Not a fan of this book, it could have been great I loved the tone of the book nurse and firemen, but they seemed immature, there was so much I thought unnecessary drawn out scenes, the medical side was very unrealistic that took away from the story, one minute she’s working ICI then helping out in ER then heading back to ICU
When I purchased I’d read it mentioned a life growing inside her........ she was a virgin and they didn’t even get to the sex and it ended on a cliffhanger I wasn’t expecting.
Definitely a disappointing read

Like a fine wine, this author just gets better with time. Each new book becomes a favorite, until the next book comes out. She’s a very talented author!
This story- OMG! Where to even begin. Let’s start with the characters... I loved them. Mila and Ben are perfect characters that will have you falling in love them instantly. Although at times I wanted to reach into the book and smack Ben upside the head. Read the story and you’ll understand why 😜
Now let’s talk about the storyline... It was perfect. Well developed and even though it’s a bit longer than most romances (at least ones I’ve read), I never felt that it was dragging on or slow. It kept me interested throughout the whole story and I only wanted to keep reading more! This is a book that I wanted to continue on and not end.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Has love, steamy hotness, family, best friends, suspense, and the mafia

What a wonderful Best Friend's Little Sister Romance! First, Ali Parker did an outstanding job developing the characters in this book, and then she pulls you into their story, so that you feel like you are right there with them. This book has love, romance, steamy hotness, family, best friends, suspense, and the mafia all intertwined together into a very well written story that you do not want to put down. It is a very lengthy book, but is so good, that you just want to keep reading. I very highly recommend it.

This story was just ok for me, which is sad because Ali Parker is a fantastic writer/ story-teller. This story was frustrating to read at times, there were certain things repeated over and over. Then there is Ben, he was back and forth with what he wanted. His indecisiveness was making me dizzy. He acted like a child. Other than that, I enjoyed the story.

A Brilliant Suspenseful Story!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2018

I 'discovered' Ali Parker's books last year and have been addicted to them ever since. I love the way she weaves a story. The way she develops her characters that are so believable and 3-dimensional. The way they pull at your heart strings and I always end up liking them [well apart from the obvious unpleasant ones ]. In this book I loved Mila as the heroine. The hero was Ben, who is her brother's best friend so obviously their love would break the 'bro code'. She had a crush on him as a child but nothing happened. He always wanted to be a firefighter but work in New York pulled him away. When his parents and 'uncle' die in suspicious circumstances he gets a chance to come back home and they reconnect. Passions overtake them but then he feels that he 'has to' leave town to protect her. Ben did annoy me at times because he need to be more assertive and not floundering in his thoughts. This is a longer story than normal but it was so full of what was going on that it didn't seem long at all to me. This is a real page turner and you won't want to put it down. W|ell worth purchasing so that I can re-read it whenever I want to do! Most definitely recommended!

WoW what a nice love story!
The only problem I had with this story is that the constant repetitive of events!
That is why I gave it a 4*!
It’s still a book I will recommend!

A GOOD READ BUT

Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

After reading more than one of Parker's books, I've come to realize that her formula seems to be that of putting a perfectly suited couple together, in a relationship that is exciting & fun with mutual respect and caring. As the relationship is geared to amp up they find themselves in a situation where both or one of them feel they can't be together any longer, because of someone on the outside who won't approve. Oh, did I mention that the heroine, Mila is an RN, over 25 years old, working in the Emergency Ward/Trauma Unit, and Ben, the hero, is just over 30 years old with a multi-billion dollar Company? But, it seems that having her brother's approval is more important than their love. PLUS, this is a cliff-hanger. I won't be purchasing anymore books by this author because I believe that when a couple of age get together they should put their love before the approval or disapproval of extended family and friends. Take ownership of your life please.
