Billionaire HeroThis is Julie L. Spencer's latest release and her second book in her most recent series, The Sayid Family Saga.
This entire series is incredibly interwoven and full of love stories that span generations. It is a beautiful, raw, and compelling story that has a little something for nearly every reader. If you are looking for a new series to start with, The Sayid Family Saga is for you. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but if you want to really get into the stories the way the author intended, we highly recommend you read the entire series from book one.

Former crown prince, Aaron Sayid, abandons his playboy lifestyle to meet his third cousin, Felicia, who’s convinced they were meant to be together after seeing him on television, despite a language barrier and living on different continents.
When Aaron and Felicia stumble upon a human trafficking ring near the border town between Guatemala and Belize, they call upon their mutual cousin, Army Captain, Henry Stephenson. He promptly falls head over heels with the tireless humanitarian aid volunteer, Whitney, and ends up trapped on the wrong side of enemy lines.
Only through the bravery of Army Airborne Captain, Monroe Cohen, are they able to free the hostages, stop a civil war, and overturn a dictator. The only thing Monroe’s not brave enough to do is stay away from the beautiful and mysterious Brianna, his team’s Army intelligence analyst who is completely off-limits.

But when Ashley meets Caleb, a nice, med-school student who served as a missionary and is ready to settle down, what starts as casual flirting quickly turns to something more and Ashley fights the undeniable attraction they have.
Because she’s still in love with Paul.
As she tries to convince herself she’s not ready to get serious with either man, Caleb becomes more involved in the farm life she loves, Paul becomes interested in the gospel she can’t live without, and Ashley realizes she’s going to have a tough choice to make.

Twenty beautiful women and only one of them knew Brock’s real identity, so why were they both keeping it a secret?
Rejected by the leading lady on the reality show Love Letters, Brock was ready to take his place at center stage. He knew he could pass himself off as a regular guy and loved seeing women’s reactions when he told them he played video games for a living.
What he didn’t tell them was that he had a Master’s degree in video game design, was international reigning champion in several competitions, and a billionaire.
But one woman knew the truth, and she wasn’t telling the others. Or was she?
Cora recognized Brock right away, being a gamer herself. The guys at her work had dared her to come on the television show, Love Letters because she refused to date anyone from their small community, and because they knew she was obsessed with the show. She figured the likelihood of actually being chosen by the leading man was pretty slim. Nineteen to one, actually.
When Cora realized Brock was hiding behind his screen name the way a famous author hides behind his pen name, she decided to play along. But how long would she play games with his heart? Long enough for another woman to prove to Brock that she cared more about him than his wealth and position?

International Rock Star: Rock Star Redemption Series is also available on Kindle and Audiobook through Amazon.com.
Center stage can’t last forever. Even a rock band as talented as Buxton Peak can come crashing down. Protecting his bride from cameras and scandals is the least of Ian’s worries. While he is blinded by love, his band is torn apart by distractions, temptations, and drug abuse.
Will Ian stand beside his mates, letting their problems become his problems? Can they pull together as a rock band? Or will the pressures of stardom rip them apart?
Note from Julie: Thank you for taking the time to get to know the rock stars from Buxton Peak. I hope you love them just as much as I do. Even the bad boys still have good hearts. They are raw, real, flawed, down to earth characters and, although the books are clean, they have been described as edgy. Multiple times. That’s why I included edgy in the title. I want you, the reader, to know what you’re getting. I mean, what could possibly go wrong when you throw together a youth pastor from an inner-city church, an atheist womanizer, a Christian boy who served as a missionary for two years, and two recovering addicts, one of whom experiences a heartbreaking overdose. Cry with them. Hate them. Forgive them. Walk beside them as they fall in love, and sometimes out of love. And let me know what you think. I love feedback from my readers, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Julie L. Spencer
***Note*** This book was originally published under the title Buxton Peak Book Two: Center Stage. The author gave it a new title and cover to more accurately reflect the story.
