The setup is classic and yet with a bit of a twist, pure Maureen Child whose writing I've gotten to know pretty well over the years. Guy has an eye on a girl, girl marries the brother. Should be the end but in BILLIONAIRE BARGAIN it is just the beginning. Maureen Child is a romantic optimist. BILLIONAIRE BARGAIN is a delight on many senses. So be prepared to fall in love and watch two independent souls duke it out.

Adam Quinn, his photo should be next to the definition of confirmed stubborn bachelor, avoider of relationships, been there done that, my way or the highway. You get my message. Now Adam is faced with a major change, a challenge to his well-ordered life. A baby. Adam's brother Devon died in a boat racing accident which has been difficult to recover from. Adam worked his way through problems especially those of a personal nature. But the baby Jack is now Adam's responsibility. There was no question Jack was going to be okay. Jack was going to get the love, structure and support that neither Adam nor Devon received from either of their parents. Their father is now gone and now with Devon's death Adam has had to deal with his mother. Adam is determined to avoid his mother, much as Devon had done. Lots on Adam's plate, Jack is going to be okay, but Adam, well that's to be seen.

Enter Sienna West, actually her reentry into the Quinn family picture. Sienna is Devon's ex-wife and not Jack's mother. Again the picture is pretty clear. Devon had a history of cheating on Sienna. Sienna had enough, end of story. But ah ha I've already warned you about endings. Sienna has buried any feelings she had for Adam long ago. She had thought she loved Devon but realizes now those didn't even come close to how she felt for his brother. Sienna was determined to make her marriage work, only problem was, she seemed to be in that endeavor alone. It takes two to tango.

So now Jack is going to be living with Adam. Adam is a corporate man who takes what he wants and isn't too good at asking for anything, much less a rather huge favor. There doesn't seem to be anyone in Adam's world that can immediately help him with Jack. So Adam digs deep into the pool of possibilities and finds Sienna. Sienna still living with some self-attached guilt over Devon's death. She wasn't in the picture any more but was there something she could have done to curb his antics.

Sienna is willing to work out a deal with Adam that would allow her to continue with her photographing business and share responsibility of Jack's care until a suitable nanny is hired. Adam made a very handsome offer that would help with her young business, a new studio. With Adam's construction know how and slew of contractors this was an easy price to pay for Sienna's help.

Larger picture is at the end of the two week agreement would Sienna be able to walk away from this adorable baby who has stolen her heart and to the man who has unknowingly had her heart for a long time. Was this the right time to see if it was reciprocal. Could this have a happy ending for any of them.

Sage advice from a good friend, the only way you absolutely can't have something is if you never try! Word to live by in BILLIONAIRE BARGAIN. BILLIONAIRE BARGAIN is another heartwarming story in Maureen Child's Billionaires and Babies series. Just sweet and lovely. Great cast of characters.
