Billionaire Romance: Out of The Cold (Book One)

By Violet Walker

BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE

Anna McCallister loves her billionaire real estate tycoon boss, Henry Reid, with all her heart. She loves his kindness, his innovation, his endless optimism, and his sense of humor. Not to mention the fantasies she has about him day and night. But shy, gentle Anna wouldn't dream of approaching him with her desires. She has convinced herself that he could never be interested in her, but takes every opportunity she can to be with him. On Christmas Eve, she gladly goes with him on a visit to a Catskills farmhouse that his company just completed rebuilding. There, they plan to tour the place, finish up with the construction team, and have a nice dinner with one of Henry's friends.

Henry left off dating a few years ago after a horrible breakup led to his being stalked by his ex. He claims to be “picky”, leaving Anna to feel that she has no chance. But when Henry's dour but attractive foreman, James Thompson, flirts with Anna openly in front of him, Henry reacts with obvious jealousy. Unfortunately this leads to his ignoring James when the man tries to warn him that a powerful snowstorm is bearing down on them. Later that night, before the pair can leave, the snowstorm hits, trapping them inside the farmhouse with only a few supplies.

They have two days before they run out of the means to heat the farmhouse in the freezing weather. In the deepening cold, they share a bed for warmth...and Anna's longing catches fire when she finds herself in Henry's sleepy embrace.

Billionaire Christmas Story: Out of the Cold

Chapter 1: The Farmhouse

They left New York City behind in a thin rain, Henry Reid’s tricked out Jeep Cherokee powering along as if the highway was dry as a bone, easing through the aggressive Upstate traffic with the grace of a vehicle too big and heavy to risk hitting. Henry sat at the wheel, his fine, well-manicured hands gripping it steadily and his green eyes fixed on the road ahead. He was generous-featured and handsome, nose just a touch overlarge and smile lines starting at the corners of his eyes--maybe forty, Anna guessed. Whenever they were together she had the habit of watching his face like she wanted to memorize every detail.

Anna McCallister, twenty-three and his secretary, loved him with the kind of desperate adoration that was usually limited to schoolgirl crushes, and though it embarrassed her, it stayed in her head no matter what she did. She fell asleep to thoughts of running her fingers through his floppy coffee-colored hair, and woke up to thoughts of turning to see his sleeping face on the pillow beside her. As they drove, competing with late holiday-makers headed for dinner somewhere out in the Catskills, she kept stealing looks at him. Henry probably thought that she had agreed to spend her Christmas Eve with him because she was dedicated to their work, but Anna did it for the reason she did everything he ever asked of her: because, despite the complete impossibility of this real estate billionaire wanting to date the help, she lived to see him smile.

I can’t wait until you see this thing, Henry said excitedly. Two hundred years old, stone, now with all the modern comforts. Solar array on the south roof, windmill, network cable in place. All we need is to order Internet and phone service, load cord wood into the shed and fill the oil tanks, and she’s completely ready to go. Bet she’ll sell in a month or two, even in winter. Henry glanced at her, the excitement in his voice coloring
