Sometimes a girl just needs a break.
Alice thought she was getting exactly that when she pulled up to the Biltmore. I mean, who wouldn’t feel like a million bucks walking into that marble lobby?
She’d survived the wake, dealt with the “super starlet” jabs, and all she wanted was a long soak and a swim in that perfect blue pool.
But the House of Morgan has a funny way of showing up exactly when you don’t want them to.
Imagine checking in, exhausted and ready to hide from the world, only to find out a “mysterious gentleman” has basically bribed the hotel staff just to get to you. Is it a threat? A business move? Or something way more personal?
In Chapter 4, which is live on YouTube right now, Alice comes face-to-face with the one man who can make her brain go completely blank.
John Morgan is back, he’s unbuttoned that formal shirt, and he’s actually… apologizing?
I don’t know about you, but when a man like that asks you to “hang out” on the thirteenth floor, the “smart” choice usually goes right out the window. Alice is playing with fire, and she knows it.
Go listen and tell me: would you have walked away, or would you have said yes to that drink?
While Alice is playing with fire, I’m so excited to finally tell you that The Protocol Billionaire is officially available on all platforms!
If you’ve been following my Midnight Billionaires, you know I live for stories about Bold Women and the Men who love them.
This one starts with Nadia Chen, a hospital tech who literally gets “kidnapped by a PDF” after she saves twelve lives by ripping out a server cable to stop a digital kill command. Talk about a bad day at the office!
She ends up in a high-stakes fake engagement with the reclusive biotech billionaire Elias Vale, complete with a five-carat diamond and a mission to hunt down a corporate “ghost.”
It’s got plenty of action, including a chase in an armored Porsche, and even my favorite orange tabby, Barnaby, in a cashmere sweater.
Elias’s friends Rafe, Logan, Damien, and Theo are all back too, and trust me, you’ll want to see how they help Elias protect the only woman he can’t code out of his life.
I didn’t get a normal promotion. I was kidnapped by a PDF.
Nadia Chen is used to life-or-death stakes, but they usually involve hospital monitors and the crushing weight of her student debt . When she identifies a lethal “kill command” hidden in a medical device update, she reacts instantly to save twelve lives—breaking the law and the equipment to do it.
Enter Elias Vale. He is the “Biotech Billionaire,” a reclusive prodigy who views the world as a series of equations to be solved. He doesn’t just hire Nadia to find the saboteur; he “acquires” her, moving her into his high-tech penthouse under Level 40 security.
To uncover the ghost in the machine without alerting the press or the board, they need the ultimate cover story: a marriage of convenience. Now, trapped in a glass fortress with a man who is as devastating as he is cold, Nadia must help him hunt an enemy from within . But as the digital threats turn into real-world danger, Nadia realizes the biggest variable she can’t control is her heart.
Speaking of that group, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Miami lately—at least in my head—and I have to be honest with you: Theo Marlowe is a lot to handle.
When I first started writing this series, I knew the “Content Billionaire” had to be someone who lived in the shadows of the truth, but I didn’t realize quite how much of a fortress he’d built around himself.
He’s the guy they call “The Eraser” because he doesn’t just manage news—he makes stories, people, and digital sins disappear like they never even happened.
He’s clinical, he’s powerful, and he operates on the belief that everything is a transaction. He doesn’t do “feelings”; he does “parameters.”
But then there’s Jane Kensington.
I think we’ve all had those moments where we feel like the world is crashing down around us, but Jane takes it to a whole new level.
She was a rising star in investigative journalism until she was fed a lie that blew up her entire career on live television. By the time she shows up at Theo’s tower, dripping wet from a Miami rainstorm, she has nothing left but $14.12 in her bank account and a target on her back.
Theo tries to treat her like a “Category One asset” and locks her in “The Nest”—his air-gapped, ballistically reinforced sub-level bunker. He even tries to make her sign a contract to handle their… physical tension.
But Jane isn’t just another asset. She’s a “Fixer” who refuses to be erased.
Watching these two go from a “transactional” encounter in a soundproof vault to a man who realizes he’d burn his entire ten-billion-dollar empire to the ground just to keep her safe… well, it’s the kind of high-stakes romance that I just couldn’t stop writing.
The Blacklist Billionaire officially releases on March 17th with forced proximity, a hero who falls first, and enough heat to rival a Miami summer.
I can’t wait for you to meeting Elias and Nadia, and stay tuned for Theo and Jane’s story next.
Make sure you friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter so we can talk about it! You can also head to victoriapinder.com to sign up for my newsletter and get a FREE novella.

One live broadcast destroyed my career. The only man who can save me is the one I tried to destroy.
Investigative reporter Jane Kensington was the rising star of Miami news—until a high-profile scoop on Elias Vale erupted into a public disaster. Framed with forged documents by a parasitic informant, Jane is now a disgraced fugitive with a cartel-backed hit squad on her trail.
With her bank accounts frozen and no one to trust, she walks into the lion’s den: the Marlowe Media Tower.
Theo Marlowe, known as “The Eraser,” is a billionaire media mogul who specializes in making problems disappear. He is powerful, cold, and calculated—and he has every reason to want Jane gone. But instead of throwing her to the wolves, he offers a transaction: sanctuary in exchange for her data and total submission to his rules.
From a high-tech bunker to a private island, Jane is pulled into Theo’s world of “Chain of Custody” agreements and absolute control. But Theo doesn’t just protect his assets; he acquires them. As the threat from the Sterling Group intensifies, Jane must decide if the man who treats love as a business deal is her ultimate protector—or the most dangerous monster of all.
