In a drunken haze during their thirtieth birthday celebration, the Secret Billionaire Society swore off their partying ways. They wanted to give back to society, and Mission Impossible became their motto. They just needed someone who would give the assignments. Enter the mysterious Mr. Smith. Serious Chase Young is chosen first by this ominous, never seen Smith and goes from billionaire to pilot for a small airline in a day. Unable to use money to fix the problem, he’s tasked to dig deeper into the airline’s problems. Chase never expects to meet Grace Edison, the owner’s daughter, and immediately wants her in his life. Undercover, Chase can’t tell Grace the truth. Never one to back down, he accepts the challenge ahead of him, win Grace and save her father’s company.
4 out of 5 (very good)
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
I'm so glad this is the first in the series as, although it's not exactly a cliffhanger ending, there are things that haven't been said.
It's a nice easy read, nothing to tax your brain but enough to keep you guessing.
I found that I liked Chase more than I thought I would. His character grows and matures and that's down to Grace. He's instantly taken with her and it's lovely to see, especially as Grace has been protecting her heart for a long time.
This isn't an explicit book, so although you know there's some sex it's not described. So would be ideal as a young adult or older read. Perfect for a warm day in the garden or cold night in front of the fire.

Nancy Pennick grew up and still lives in Northeast Ohio. After a career in teaching, she began writing young adult and romance books. The Waiting for Dusk series includes a historical fiction prequel, Broken Dreams. The sci-fi romance series about time travel has three books-Waiting for Dusk, Call of the Canyon and Stealing Time. The Swedish influences in the series come from her mother whose parents emigrated from Sweden.
Her second YA series-Twenty Nine-had slowly developed over time. One Leap Year, an idea came to her and she created the characters and story based on that special day, February 29.
Nancy has branched out into historical romance with her Clan MacLaren series and soon romantic suspense with her upcoming books, The Secret Billionaire Society.
Nancy is married and has one son who helps her when she's challenge by tech, which may be more often than he likes!
