Gerald Wright works for billionaires. He never imagined heâd become one.
The former Navy Seal is a chauffeur by day, artist by night, so when hotter-than-ever ex-fiancée Suzanne Dayton interrupts his nude model sculpting class to serve him with inheritance paperwork from a man heâs never heard of, he assumes itâs a joke.
Turns out the jokeâs on him. Thereâs just one catch. A big one.
And it might be Suzanne â in more ways than he ever dreamed.
Shopping for an Heir is the 10th book in the New York Times bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire series by Julia Kent.

Excerpt
He smelled like home. Like love. Like promise and comfort, like passion and disbelief.
âWhatâs wrong?â he snapped, his face alternating between joy and anger. âWhy are you here?â
Coming to her senses, she extracted the thick envelope from her brief bag, looking him square in the eye. âLegal matter. Iâve been instructed to deliver this to you.â She used remarkable restraint in not peering around Gerald to get more of an eyeful of Declan McCormickâs stately form.
Then again, Gerald was an impenetrable wall of muscle himself, not easily subverted. Sheâd need taller heels to peer around him. He did not move his palm from her arm, and his touch infused her, a deeply satisfying sense of connection slowly creeping along her skin, her breath quickening, his touch ringing bells inside her that had been dormant for a decade.
âWhat is it?â
âRead it. Youâll understand.â She turned on her heel and started to leave, shaking inside so hard she might trigger the New Madrid fault.
He glared at her. âWhat? Thatâs it? Ten years and thatâs it?â He pulled back, breaking contact.
All her anxiety faded, like an antidote injected straight into the heart, his words kicking in, providing such clarity.
âTen years you chose, Gerald,â she hissed, mouth curling, throat seizing. âYou do not get to put this on me.â Grief flared in her, a burst like a fireball, and then it turned to the ash of anger, a light coat settling over every spare surface of her heart.
His eyebrows shot up, eyes gliding away, his nose twitching and mouth tightening as if holding back.
Squaring her shoulders, Suzanne decided to make this easy for him. God only knew why. âMy law firm is handling the estate of deceased billionaire Harold Hopewell. Youâve been named in his will.â She tapped the thick envelope in his hand. âThese papers explain everything.â
âExplain what?â
âYouâre his heir. One of them, at least.â
