The Billionaire's Bride — Carol Grace

Abbie Porter caught her French fiancé cheating on her, then she flunked out of cooking school in Paris. Feeling like a failure Abbie leaves for Bella Vista, her home in California, determined to get a new job but never ever to get married.



When she arrives at her family's woodsy property she's met by Jake Crenshaw, the new neighbor and Silicon Valley entrepreneur. It's love at first sight for the dot-com billionaire who is not only rich, he's gorgeous, friendly and sexy too.



But Abbie keeps her cool around Jake. She knows better than to fall for the first man she meets after her disastrous affair in Paris. Though Jake invests in her new food truck business, helps drum up business and buys her a puppy, she tells him they can be friends, nothing more. After a few weeks of working together making French crepes in the food truck, and after Jake has repaired the flat tire on her truck and fixed the faulty griddle and eaten every test crepe she creates, she finally falls madly in love. But Jake has to take a business trip which leaves Abbie to run the truck by herself. To her surprise she's inundated by hungry customers and her food truck is a big success.



Turns out Jake has secretly supported her venture by underwriting the cost of the lunches and sending customers her way. When she finds out she's furious and determined to make it on her own. With hard work and her sister's help, she does succeed and finally accepts Jake's apologies. They get married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony with her sisters as bridesmaids.
