Monica Murphy's new Billionaire Bachelors Club series gets off to a strong start with CRAVE. Archer Bancroft can't resist a bet, so he makes a million dollar wager with his two best friends. The last single man standing will take it all. Archer, who doesn't do long term relationships, feels confident about his odds. That is before an unforgettable kiss with Ivy Emerson, the one woman he has always wanted and couldn't have because she is his best friend's sister. That stolen kiss on a dark terrace at a wedding leads to a clandestine night together, and Archer wants much more than one night with Ivy.

To find a way to spend time with Ivy, Archer drafts her to help decorate his secret new couples-only boutique hotel. It is good for her career, and she can't turn down the opportunity. Ivy has wanted her big brother's swoon-worthy friend for most of her life, but she knows his reputation with women very well. She eventually finds that she can't say no to Archer. Archer will have to lose his bet if he wants to win Ivy's heart, but he may very well lose Ivy when she finds out about the bet.

CRAVE is a quick, relaxing read. This sexy contemporary romance is the first in a new series that will feature Archer's best friends Gage and Matt as well. The idea of a sexy, billionaire playboy hero isn't unique, but there is a reason it is used so frequently in romances—it works! The first-person narrative alternates between Archer and Ivy's perspectives. Ivy is a smart, confident heroine. Seeing Archer's thoughts really strengthens the story and makes him even more charming. CRAVE is a fun, sexy story that will make readers crave more of Murphy's Billionaire Bachelors Club.
