2016 Silver Medal
A CEO billionaire needs a wife to save his image. A desperate college student needs her trust fund to get her degree. A reality TV romance could solve all their problems.

Six years ago, Madelyn Knightly walked away from her trust fund, her Hollywood producer father, and the expectation that she would join the family business. Avoiding handsome playboys with hidden agendas was just an added bonus. Now one semester shy of graduation, she is shocked to discover her scholarship has lost its funding.

Her estranged father is having problems of his own. A contestant on his latest reality TV series has cancelled a week before shooting.

His solution?

Madelyn gets her trust fund back if she stands in as a potential marriage candidate for the dating series Marry Your Billionaire. Twenty women competing for one arrogant guy. Not Madelyn's cup of tea. Agreeing to this proposition sucks her back into the world she happily broke ties from.

But no trust fund equals no college degree.

Brody Prescott, CEO and owner of an online dating company, has recently been pegged a heartless playboy by a disgruntled female after a disappointing date. To save his company and his reputation as an honest businessman, the billionaire must prove to everyone he isn't the naughty bad boy they believe him to be.

His solution?

Become the first bachelor on Marry Your Billionaire and land himself a wife. Unfortunately, the woman who intrigues him the most wants to be eliminated. His careful planning did not include wooing a reluctant bride.

If Brody can't convince Madelyn he's interested in happily ever after, he risks losing his reputation and the only woman he has ever truly loved.

Marry Your Billionaire is Book 1 in the Billionaire’s Reluctant Wife series by Swoony Award-winning author Jennifer Griffith and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Savage.

All the books in the series are standalone romantic comedies with hunky heroes, hilarious twists, and clean-but-undeniable chemistry.

"A contemporary romantic comedy with plenty of real emotion on a TV set, Marry Your Billionaire puts a new spin on the reality TV romance dating shows by having both a bachelor and bachelorette who don’t want to be there. Full of drama, steam, and a bit of danger as one contestant plots her way to the top, this story has plenty to offer for any bachelor romance fan." -Sarah E. Bradley, InD'Tale Magazine

There's something about cowboys, strong women, falling in love, and happy endings . . . Divorced, broke, and alone, Kody Monroe merely exists in a dead-end midwestern town. When two lawyers tell her that she’s inherited a ranch in Montana, Kody hesitantly agrees to take a chance and leave the only home she’s ever known to start a new life out west. When Kody arrives at the ranch, she meets the unapproachable, much younger ranch foreman, Jake Shannon. Kody is drawn to him like a magnet, but red flags go up, followed by a sheet of armor around her much-broken heart. Jake, who has turned his own emotional hurts into a comfortable kind of loneliness, was expecting a woman from Indiana who didn't know how to run a ranch. But he finds blue eyes deep enough to drown in, and a smile warm enough to melt anyone’s heart, including his, which throws a monkey wrench into the secure world he’s been in. Kody has many unanswered questions as to who willed her the ranch. What, or who, is buried in a lone grave in the middle of a desolate prairie. Then there’s the surprise visit from an ex-husband she thought she’d never see again. Will family secrets and a heart out of control give Kody the courage to stay in Montana and live the life of her dreams? Or will she walk away from her dreams and go back to Indiana?

From the author of “Dogs Aren’t Men” comes “To Love a Cat”, a contemporary romance novel.

Catherine “Cat” James’ life is simple and orderly, and she likes it that way. She loves her job as an accountant. Working with numbers is safe and routine, no surprises. Her childhood had been very abusive and unstable. She vowed not to live that way as an adult. She also made a promise to herself to become a foster parent. She wished someone had been there for her as a teenager, to let her know she wasn’t alone.

Cat agrees to foster Ethan Summers, a troubled teenage boy whose childhood closely resembles her own. Suddenly, her nice and orderly life is filled with chaos and uncertainty. Things really start to spin out of control when circumstances bring police detective Mitch Holt into the picture. He’s handsome, charming, and definitely not what Cat needs right now, or so she thinks.
