Hearts and Hardware: A Standalone Billionaire Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263812201)

When a billionaire tech CEO meets a brilliant woman who refuses his help, sparks fly in Silicon Valley's most unexpected love story.

Maya Chen is drowning in medical bills and dead-end jobs, her computer science degree worthless without the resources to use it. When her dying laptop costs her yet another opportunity, she's desperate enough to accept help from Alexander Sterling-the devastatingly handsome billionaire who owns half of Seattle's tech district. But Maya isn't looking for a handout, and she definitely isn't looking to become another rich man's charity case.

Alex Sterling has everything money can buy except the one thing he craves most: someone who sees past his billions to the man underneath. When Maya becomes the first woman in years to turn down his offer, he's intrigued. When she challenges his prototypes and revolutionizes his company's user experience, he's captivated. But Alex's past betrayals have left him questioning everyone's motives-even the brilliant, stubborn woman who's stolen his heart.

As Maya proves herself in Alex's high-stakes tech world, their professional partnership ignites into something deeper. But when Alex's trust issues threaten to destroy what they've built, Maya must decide if love is worth fighting for-even when it means loving a man who's afraid to believe she could want him for more than his money.

A steamy contemporary romance featuring a self-made heroine, a vulnerable alpha hero, and the kind of happily-ever-after that proves the best things in life are worth more than money. Perfect for fans of billionaire romance with heart, heat, and a tech-savvy twist.
