An ‘Isle of Brides’ Romance

Ali McQueen has it all — great job, New York apartment, rich boyfriend. She recruits beautiful women for The Billionaires’ Keys Resort, where extremely wealthy men pay a fortune to meet prospective brides. But three months ago she decided to step up her game. Now time is running out as Ali tries to land her first billionaire client, a career and personal transition that is fraught with all kinds of perils to everything she holds dear. Newly-minted billionaire Devon Locke just sold his artificial intelligence software company, leaving him with a pile of money and little to do.

Beth Sanford has heard of the Red Pavilion before, but this is her first visit. She’s beyond nervous—she’s meeting her new manager and a newly recruited billionaire suitor. It’s his first visit to Billionaires’ Keys Resort, so he too is a virgin in his own way. But not like Beth. She’s the real deal. Twenty-three and still untouched. Well, at least in that way. Beth is no stranger to men, but she’s saved herself. For this? Maybe.

I thought I’d come to terms with the fact that I’m just not the marrying type, and yet here I am at a matchmaking resort for billionaires. I’ve dated black women and white women, but none of them make me want to settle down. At least, so far. Then I met Vanny. I might have to reassess.
