Billionaire for Hire countdown to release! Only one month–just four more Tuesdays–until the release of Billionaire for Hire, the first book in my new FOR HIRE series.
This new series is a spin-off of my Hot SEALs series, set in the same world with cameos by some of your favorite characters.
The crossover between the two series began in January with the most recent Hot SEALs release, SEAL the Deal. If you read it, you might recall the appearance of Zane’s old prep school buddy Brent Hearst. Well, in Billionaire for Hire, Brent is the hero and Zane makes an appearance.
Need a review?
Below is the scene from SEAL the Deal featuring Zane doing a favor for Brent. It’s important because in Billionaire for Hire, Zane comes to collect on the debt and Brent finds himself thrust from his life of privilege into Zane’s world of intrigue.
Enjoy!

“So, you ever take investigative jobs?”
Zane lifted a brow. “Depends. What kind of investigation we talking?” He’d rather declare bankruptcy and close than see GAPS start tailing cheating spouses.
Brent pressed his lips tight and looked reluctant, which had Zane curious.
Finally, Brent said, “It’s a delicate matter.”
Turning to face him fully, Zane said, “You know you can trust me. Nothing you say will go any further.”
“It’s just with my family—the press would eat it up if they even got a whiff of this.”
“Understood.” What the hell could have Brent looking so concerned? His happy-go-lucky friend was worried. Zane could see it. “This thing is that serious?”
“I’m not sure. That’s what I was hoping you could find out. God, I hope it’s not what I think but I’m afraid it might be. If it’s what I fear . . .”
Zane saw the pain in his friend’s face and said, “Whatever it is, I’ll handle it personally.”
His schedule was already packed but for a friend, and for something that was apparently serious and weighing on Brent, Zane would make the time. Even if it was—God forbid—tailing a cheating girlfriend. For Brent, he’d do it. He wouldn’t like it, but he’d do it.
“Thank you. I’d really appreciate it.” Brent’s gratitude and relief was evident in his expression and the way his shoulders lifted just a bit, as if the weight of worry had been lifted.
“No problem. I’m assuming you don’t want to talk about this here. Can you meet with me tomorrow? The earlier the better.”
“Sure. Just name the time and place.”
This would be the perfect time to have that satellite office set up. If only these damn wedding events would end so he had some time free again. Tomorrow Zane would call and get over to see that property he’d talked to Mr. Moskowitz about.
Until then, he needed a place to meet with Brent. “How about we meet by the fountain at Dupont Circle. Zero-six hundred. Wear your running clothes.”
A laugh burst from Brent. “All right. If you insist.”
“Wow. You must be desperate. You’re allergic to mornings, if I remember correctly.” Zane laughed.
“You remember right. But seriously, I do appreciate your making time to meet. I know you’re going out of your way and doing me a favor. I owe you one, brother.”
“Yes, you will owe me one. And don’t think I won’t collect.” Zane shot Brent a warning glance.
Brent paused with his drink halfway to his mouth and laughed. “Never thought that for a moment. I know you too well.”
Zane cocked his head to one side, his lips twitching with a smile because he couldn’t deny Brent’s words. “TouchĂ©.”
