To Stephanie Sugarman, Charlie Preston is just the bad boy billionaire who rejected his own son. Six years ago, she and Charlie had an admittedly hot one-night stand, which left her pregnant. When she tracked down his family, his mother offered her money to go away. Now, however, Stephanie’s forced to spend time with Charlie as her boss’s liaison while Charlie crunches the numbers for a potential … potential acquisition. At first, she can’t stand to be in the same room as the charming, brilliant businessman. But as time goes on, she realizes the man she believed him to be and the man she sees now are completely different. This Charlie is honorable, charming, and—most importantly—would never abandon his son. And he seems determined to prove to her that he’s worthy of her heart.
Even though he and Stephanie only spent one incredible night together, Charlie has never been able to get her out of his mind. Now that he’s working with her, he has the chance to make things right, to prove he’s someone she and their son can trust. He’ll approach fatherhood the same way he approaches everything in life—with a detailed, meticulous plan. What he doesn’t anticipate is fiercely independent Stephanie, who gets a bit prickly when he tries to lay out a future for them. The problem is, planning is what Charlie does best, but he learns too late that all the planning in the world can’t make her stay with him. He’ll have to ditch his plan and follow his heart…no matter where it leads.

The Billionaire’s Secret Son is the second book in the Preston Brothers Series. It can be read as a stand alone with no worry of feeling behind. While I enjoyed the first book I didn’t care so much for this book. It had a great storyline, but I felt like it wasn’t realistic. Stephanie Sugarman and Charlie Preston had a one-night stand at a conference six years ago. Charlie left while Stephanie was asleep and never contacted her again. When Stephanie found out she was pregnant she tried to locate Charlie. She was able to contact Charlie’s mother who told Stephanie he didn’t want anything to do with her “situation”. Now Stephanie is representing a company that Charlie and his brothers want to acquire. I didn’t like the fact that Stephanie made it so easy for Charlie and allowed him to join right into the family without confrontation, it’s just not realistic. This casted Stephanie as a push-over. I hope the next book is better.

Charlie met Stephanie at a conference 6 years ago. Charlie was fighting a demon, alcohol, and was out of control when he and Stephanie had their night together. When Stephanie found out she was pregnant, she went to Charlie’s home but did not see Charlie, but saw his mother instead. Charlotte Preston did what she thought was in Charlie’s best interest, offer Stephanie money to leave.
5 years later, Charlie and Stephanie meet again when she is the assistant to the president of the company Charlie is looking to acquire for Preston Logistics. Stephanie will be working with Charlie to go through all of the files and records as part of the due diligence audit. Right behind Stephanie comes her 5 year old son, Jasper. Jasper, who it turns out is Charlie’s son. A son he never knew existed.
Charlie still has an attraction to Stephanie and wants to be in Stephanie and Jasper’s lives but Charlie lives in a world of planning and control and dealing with a child, plans can not be set in stone.
When the deal is over, will Stephanie and Jasper leave Charlie and leave them all brokenhearted or will they find a way to plan a future together?
This is the 2nd book in this series and each book is stand alone but you will want to read the entire series.

Second in this series. Not my favorite. We have two star crossed lovers, who after a hit em and leave em, five years previously, met again and the drama begins. It is a tediously, dramatic story with a HEA. Just my opinion, it may be the perfect book for you.
This is a heartwarming story of second chances. Stephanie and Charlie had a one night stand six years ago which left Stephanie pregnant. Charlie had no idea of this and was unaware that Stephanie had contacted his family to find him and let him know. She was offered money by his mother to go away and left with the impression that Charlie was nothing but a rich jerk. When they cross each other’s paths again years later, Stephanie has nothing but disdain for him. But she soon realizes this Charlie that she is slowly getting to know would never abandon his child. Charlie wants to prove to her that he is a loyal man who takes his responsibilities seriously. Will Charlie and Stephanie have a chance at love and a family? You’ll definitely want to pick up the Billionaire’s Secret Son and find out!

This story had a touch of will they won’t they. When Stephanie & Charlie met again after their one night together 6yrs ago the chemistry was still there between them & it took him a whole to realise the boy she was with was Jasper his son that he never knew about. She was there for work as Charlie’s company was looking to buy them out but needed to go through details so her boss cancelled he vacation telling her she had to get the business deal through. Charlie & Stephanie got closer when her & Jasper moved in with him so his housekeeper could look after Jasper whilst they worked. Stephanie really needed this sale to go through to keep her job but also wanted Charlie to get to know Jasper but he was too controlling about everything & after Jasper had seen them arguing she told Charlie things wouldn’t work between them but he still insisted she went on the holiday he had booked for them & he would stay at home. Whilst she was on holiday after bringing her sister who could see how miserable she was she finally admitted how she felt about Charlie & he was the same at home so he decided to fly out & meet her as he found out she was returning earlier. I couldn’t put this down desperate that they would get yo meet & confess their love & there be a happy ever after.

3.25/5 stars!
Years ago, the couple had a late-night stand that has consequences. When they met again for business, their attraction is still present. For the hero, he turned his life around after that night; whereas the heroine became a single parent. The hero wants to reconnect with the heroine and get to know their son while the heroine tries to let the hero into her life.
I enjoyed the story, even if the angst level wasn’t too dramatic. I did wanted the story to be longer so that there would be more family dynamics, and more depth to the couple individually and together. It would be nice to have flashbacks about that one night in their past and see how much both have changed since then. Overall it’s a nice, solid story.
**Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.**
