    About this ebook

    Penelope Hart just wants to do her job. It was supposed to just be another day at work, but when Matt comes into her library, everything changes.

    He's handsome. He's smart. And he's just too good to be true.

    Matt convinces Penelope to go on a book hunt with him, but unfortunately he doesn't realize a storm is brewing outside. What will they do when the two are locked together in the library? Will Penelope be able to stop herself from falling for Matt's seduction?

    When they are rescued and Matt's secret billionaire identity is revealed, will they be able to be together? Or will their love disappear like the melting snow?

    Locked with Him is the first part in With Her Billionaire, an interracial (BWWM) romance series following the story of Penny and Matt. The series contains strong sexual themes, and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

      Quite frankly I feel hipped! They start it out good and then rush through it and when you think "hey! they will get together out side" and then...hey want the end fork over more money or what ever...getting tired of it not book just short story or excerpt!

      I loved this book from beginning to end, I love a book where I can actually imagine, feel and see, everything that's happening. 10/10. Cant wait to read the next. Anxious on what happens next.

    Locked with Him - Ellen Dominick

    With Her Billionaire

    Locked with Him

    If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino.

    I picked up the slim book, brushing the dust off its cover. A train rushed towards me in the illustration, billowing smoke behind it. This was an original 1981 edition. Signed by Calvino himself. I was lucky to even be touching it.

    The pages flopped open in my hands and that smell of paper and ink hit me in the face. How many times would I have read it then? Five? Six?

    It didn't matter. One of the perks of being a librarian was that you never needed a library card.

    The stacks were so quiet that I could spend my days reading book after book, undisturbed. It was like having an unlimited pass to all the literature I could ever want.

    The sharp sound of stiff, crisp pages hung in the air. No one ever wanted the books that were down here. Everyone hung out upstairs, where the popular books were shelved. That's where dozens of copies of Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter were shelved.

    But down here? I only ever saw anyone if they were lost. Normally some young kids looking for the bathroom. Every now and again there would be a nerdy graduate student, looking for some obscure tome. If they were guys, they'd never be able to look me in the eyes. If they were girls, they ignored me and tried to navigate the maze of the stacks on their own. Good luck with that.

    Of course, most of the time they never thought I was the librarian. I guess brown skin and books are not supposed to mix. Sorry for not being skinny, pale, and bespectacled.

    I gently pressed the book open, trying not to crack the spine. I smoothed the pages down, passing my hand over the paper. It was time to start reading.

    You're still here, Penny?

    I jerked my head up. Right when I was getting started…

    Oh, hi Linda, I said. I started to put my head down again when I finally processed what she said. "Wait, why wouldn't I be here?"

    I grabbed my phone off my desk and checked the time. It was nowhere near closing hours.

    You don't know? Linda asked. Then, after a moment she hit her forehead with her palm. "You've been cooped up down here all day haven't you?"

    Yeah, and?

    It's only supposed to be the worst freak blizzard in the last 50 years. It's supposed to snow over 3 feet! Linda said. Almost everybody's already gone home. I figured you were gone, but I wanted to come and check. Good thing I did.

    Linda glowered down at me, with her hands on her hips. She was already decked out in her coat and snow boots. Obviously, she was ready
