Accidentally Married to the Billionaire (Whirlwind Romance Series) by Shadonna Richards

 
    ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE
BILLIONAIRE
    When Kira Watson, a normally shy
reporter, wakes up in a Las Vegas hotel room with a gorgeous man in her bathroom,
her jaw drops open. He tells her that he is Alessandro, her new husband, but
just for the weekend. Alessandro was the man she was sent to write a story
about—but how did she end up his weekend wife?
    Sexy, arrogant tycoon Alessandro
Romano goes to Las Vegas to clench the most important deal for his business.
What he did not bargain for was sweet undercover reporter Kira Watson. After a
few drinks they end up tying the knot on the spur of the moment in a drive-through
wedding on the Vegas Strip. She is perfect to play his temporary wife for the
weekend so that he can persuade his business partners and the press that he is
a family man—but the rules soon change when passion begins to sizzle between
them.
     
     
    1.
    I will never drink again!
    Kira Watson’s head pounded like a
bass drum when she woke up from her first real hangover in years. She froze
when she heard the buzzing sound of an electrical device coming from the
bathroom of her hotel suite. 
    Oh, God! Please tell me I didn’t
do anything stupid last night.
    The last thing she remembered was
coming to Las Vegas, Nevada on an assignment with a new job to cover the
bidding for a large facility near Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. Billionaires
from around the world were meeting at a prestigious hotel just outside of Vegas
with their proposals of what they would do with the facility. All eyes were on
one man who wanted to change it into the world’s largest children’s hospital
and thought it would be the best location. Kira’s twin had died of a rare
childhood disorder and she hoped whoever won the bid would be turn the sought
after building into a world-renowned facility to help sick children from around
the world—regardless of their family income.
    That was pretty much what she
remembered.
    She also remembered not having
anything to eat then drinking champagne at some reception at the hotel—a few
glasses too many, probably, and feeling tipsy. She’d spoken to a nice gentleman
but that was it. Wasn’t it?
    “Who’s in there?” she moaned
while pressing her hand to her head to stop the hammering inside her skull.
    Talking to strangers or picking
up guys was never her thing and never would be. She pulled the sheets over her
body and propped herself up in the bed.
    Just then, the door swung open
and so did Kira’s mouth when a gorgeous naked man walked out with nothing but a
towel over his midsection holding what appeared to be an electric toothbrush.
    “Oh, my God!”
    “Good morning, beautiful,” the sexy
stranger said with a dimpled grin on his face. His voice was deep and smooth
like warm honey. He tilted his head to the right as if surveying her with his
smooth eyes.
    Kira could not speak for a
moment. His silky voice caused a reaction within her, sending waves of
excitement and bewilderment down her spine.
    She’d seen good looking guys
before but he was…stunning. Drop-dead gorgeous!
    Her eyes captured his tall, lean
frame and ripped muscles on his firm body.  She gaped at his beautiful tanned
complexion, his six-pack, biceps, and the taut nipples on his muscular chest. The
body of someone who obviously worked out at the gym a lot. No, the body of a
Greek god!
    His dark sexy eyes resembled a
delicious shade of milk chocolate. Ooh, he was hot! Yummy!
    “Um…I’m sorry but this might
sound a bit…rude but…” Kira sucked in a deep breath, “…who the hell are you?
And what are you doing in my room?”
    A grin touched the corner of the sinfully
handsome stranger’s full lips. His expression, a bit perplexed. “The name’s Romano.
Alessandro Romano. Now, honey, is that anyway to greet your…Wait a minute! You
don’t remember anything about last night?”
    Kira instinctively pulled the
sheets up to cover her bosom under her lingerie. Thankfully, she was not
