Royal, Texas – Present Day

After the ending of her marriage six months ago, then having her engagement to her childhood sweetheart recently called off at the last moment, socialite Lexi Alderidge has thrown herself into her job at her father's bank. Visiting a job site one day, she mistakes the man who greets her for the foreman. It turns out he's the construction owner, Jack Bowden. Sparks fly between them and they begin an affable friendship that feels like it will lead to something deeper. But Lexi shouldn't be getting involved with a man after her recent track record. Yet, nothing can stop the attraction that burns hot between Lexi and Jack.

Jack remembers Lexi's father all too well because the older man turned down his request for a business loan seven years ago. Lexi is a smart and beautiful woman, but he understands her reticence about starting a new relationship after her recent bad luck in the romance department. Lexi is petite and Jack wants to spoil and pamper her, but is he leading them down a path of no return if they fall in love? Is their relationship now romantic despite her denial to others? Jack knows what it is like to be dumped at the altar, so he understands her feelings. As their relationship turns into a sizzling hot affair, how far will it go before they must make a decision on their future together?

Lexi and Jack seem so perfect for each other in BLUE COLLAR BILLIONAIRE by Karen Booth, the latest installment in the Texas Cattleman's series. Jack has built his business from the ground up—despite no help from Lexi's dad after his loan was denied. She comes from “old” money and as such, they might have mutual friends, but they run around in different circles. Lexi deserves the best, but can Jack continue to provide what she needs if they get married? Lexi insists that she isn't that type of woman and loves being around the down-to-earth Jack. They mesh well together. Plus, the sex is great between them. Yet, she apparently doesn't want to go public with her relationship with Jack. Is she ashamed of him? Jack isn't sure…

They come from disparate backgrounds and fall in love in BLUE COLLAR BILLIONAIRE. Is Lexi falling for a man too soon after ending her last relationship? Can Jack make the differences between them work? Find out the answer in this sizzling tale.
