Best Billionaire Romance Books in 2024
1. The Fine Print by Lauren Asher
Rowan:
I’m in the business of creating fairy tales. Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels. Everything could be mine if I renovated Dreamland.
My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her. Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias.
By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late. People like me don’t get happy endings.
Zahra:
After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland’s most expensive ride, I should have been fired. Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job.
The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I’d ever met.
Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn’t care. At least not until I discovered his secret.
It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn’t fix everything. Especially not us.
2. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him.
Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control.
When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
3. A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn
How did you two meet?
The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey-dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow.
My meet cute is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous, who consequently just fired me.
He was stomping around the block like some gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it.
And that’s when we bumped into each other. There were no sparks. Not even a hint of blossoming love.
But the next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems, which led to his big ask. You know, he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman—minus the frisky behavior.
We’re talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love… and engaged. Can you imagine?
The absolute audacity.
But people do crazy things when they’re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal. One big mistake I made was accidentally falling for the incomparable Huxley Cane.
4. King of Wrath by Ana Huang
Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant.
Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.
The billionaire CEO never planned to marry—until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows.
Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or charming she is. He’ll do everything he can to destroy the evidence and their marriage.
There’s only one problem: now that he has her… he can’t bring himself to let her go.
***
Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered.
Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family’s ticket into the highest echelons of high society.
Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money family.
While the rude, elusive Dante isn’t her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty.
Craving his touch was never part of the plan. Neither was the worst thing she could possibly do: fall in love with her future husband.
5. By a Thread by Lucy Score
Dominic:
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that on the first day of her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.
So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Perhaps I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean I will be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs, and for some reason, she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.
Ally:
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
6. Most Eligible Billionaire by Annika Martin
He’s a powerful billionaire CEO who built the family business into an empire. The money doesn’t matter to him, but the company is his life. And then his eccentric mother wills it all to her tiny dog.
I’m Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that’s what my elderly neighbor always says.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to her dog, Smuckers, with me as his spokesperson.
Suddenly I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor’s son, Henry Locke, aka New York’s most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me.
Rumor has it Henry’s a business genius who’s as talented in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom. Sure, he’s gorgeous—sex-in-a-seven-thousand dollar suit. But…
He’s arrogant and infuriating.
He refuses to listen when I insist I didn’t con his mother.
He thinks he can bully me, buy me off, control me, even seduce me.
Henry may have the women of Manhattan eating out of the palm of his hand, but I’m so over entitled rich guys who think they own the world.
No way will his wicked smile charm ME out of my panties. His wicked… devastating… impossible-to-resist smile. Oh well, who needs panties anyway?
7. Think Outside the Boss by Olivia Hayle
Attending a secret party where clothes are optional wasn’t a life goal of mine. But when the exclusive invitation ends up in my mailbox by accident… well. Who wouldn’t be curious? It’s not like I’m going to do anything.
The handsome stranger I meet has different plans. One glance across the crowded party and an hour later, we’re stretched out on silk. Our night together is glorious. No names and no regrets.
But I’d forgotten there’s always a price to pay for pleasure.
I find out the cost when I start my internship. Because who is the new venture capitalist CEO?
Tristan Conway, aka my handsome stranger. Powerful, determined, intriguing… and single. Oh, and he wants to see me in his office.
Thinking outside the box got me into this mess. Now, if I could just stop thinking about the boss!
8. Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher
Julian
If I ever caught on fire, Dahlia Muñoz would fan the flames with a smile. So, when she returns to Lake Wisteria, I fully intend to avoid the interior designer.
At least until my meddling mother exploits my savior complex.
The faster I help Dahlia find her creative spark, the sooner she will leave town. But while I was busy getting rid of Dahlia, I overlooked one potential issue.
What happens if I want her to stay?
Dahlia
People say the devil has many faces, but I know only one—Julian Lopez—my childhood rival and family frenemy.
I vow to avoid him while I recover from my broken engagement, but then the billionaire makes an irresistible offer to renovate a historic house together and triple our profits.
Our temporary truce becomes compromised as we face years’ worth of denied attraction and mixed emotions. Giving into our desire is inevitable… but falling in love?
That isn’t part of the plan.
9. The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
He’s a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend.
Emotionally unavailable doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He’s cold. He’s distant. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century, at least according to his bank statement.
My job is to keep Hayes’s matchmaking relatives and all interested ladies away from the cranky, grumpy, walled-off heir to my favorite movie empire by pretending to be his one true love. In return, he won’t ruin my life over a teensy, tiny little misunderstanding.
But the more I sneak past his walls and fences, the more I realize that while we might be from different worlds, we have more in common than we expected. The man, under all the glitz, glamour, and dollar signs, could be the real love of my life.
But you know what they say about fake dating a billionaire – it’s all fun and games until the scandals start!
10. Wild Love by Elsie Silver
She’s been driving him wild for years… the good kind of wild.
The kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.
Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World’s Hottest Billionaire, but he only cares about escaping the press and opening a recording studio in the gorgeous small town of Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he’s her biological father.
Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old while trying desperately to keep his hands off his best friend’s sister, Rosie Belmont.
After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm’s length. He tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay―friction that soon turns to blistering heat.
Ford knows damn well he shouldn’t cross this line. But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things. And the only thing he honestly can’t do is resist her.
11. Fake Empire by C.W. Farnsworth
There’s rich.
Then there’s the Ellsworth family. The Kensingtons. American royalty.
Money buys power, and power always has a price. The fear of those who already possess both? Losing it. What is the best way to ensure keeping it? Alliances. And elites don’t marry down—they marry equal.
For Scarlett Ellsworth and Crew Kensington, that leaves one option: each other. Accepting that inevitability is very different from embracing it, but that’s the only thing they agree upon.
It was meant to be a union for the better and for business.
Instead, it challenges everything Scarlett and Crew thought they knew about themselves, their families, and most of all… each other.
12. My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington & L.J. Shen
It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball—a clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.
But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge.
To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed.
To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry.
He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it.
And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.
13. The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura
When her sister doesn’t show up on her wedding day, Raven has no choice but to take her place — but marriage to Ares Windsor is nothing short of torture.
The elusive billionaire media mogul is the man she’s always loved… yet he’s only ever had eyes for her sister.
Married to him at last, Raven is determined to win him over.
After all, everything is fair in love and war.
And this? This is war.
14. The Billionaire by Marni Mann
I’ve always been a good girl. But the second I walk into the hotel bar, I see temptation.
The man sitting there is delicious. Older. Experienced. Once our eyes meet, I know I’m not walking away unscathed. I’ve heard about men like Jenner Dalton—richer than God and hotter than sin. He’s got heartbreak written all over him.
But it only takes fifteen minutes before we’re headed up to his room.
I’ve never done anything like this before, but something tells me he’s worth it. Every swipe of his tongue feels electric, every kiss sets me on fire, and his experience has me begging for more.
In one week, I’ll return to college in Miami, and h, and he’ll return to being LA’s most eligible billionaire.
The miles and years between us are just too many for this to mean anything. So, between now and then, I plan to spend every moment being anything but good!
15. Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton
Life is never black and white.
One minute, you’re a struggling graphic designer in LA who’s finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next, you’re flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.
At least… that’s what everyone thinks. Forced to clean up his playboy image to protect his company, Beckham Sinclair, the city’s most eligible billionaire bachelor, wants me to be his fake fiancée and personal assistant.
Now, I’m spending every spare second with a man I thought I’d never see again.
My freshly mended heart has barely recovered from the first time a Sinclair broke it. But with each passing day, Beck’s dirty mouth and lingering stares make me question his motives—and mine.
