Must Love Diamonds Boxed Set, Books 1-3


Book Description

“It’s such a rare thing when I come across a series and love each book for different reasons.” ~ Adria’s Romance Reviews The Diamonds are the First Family of Colorado. They have money, looks, and charisma galore, but they don’t all have love...yet. Must Love Frosting – A “billionaire and the girl next door” romance A wedding cake baker and a photographer walk into a bar— No, that’s just silly. They meet at a wedding, of course. And since Asher Diamond only does weddings for the frosting on the cakes, it’s a match made in hea— Nope, scratch that, too. Because Honor Hartman knows Happily Ever After isn’t the fairy tale it’s cracked up to be, no matter how much the sexy photographer makes her wish otherwise. Asher thinks she could be The One, and the fact she’s the woman behind the butter cream frosting is icing on the cake. When his psychic best friend warns him Honor doesn’t believe in forever, he’s willing to risk his heart to prove to her true love exists—until a shocking family secret shakes the foundation of everything he believes in and reveals how wrong it can go if Honor is right. Love Loyal and True – an “enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, one-night-stand, opposites attract” romance A by-the-books accountant who’s sworn off love meets the irresistible psychic who’s dreamed about him since she was a little girl. Loyal Diamond has gotten down on one knee twice. He’s had his heart broken twice. He’s not risking it ever again—and most certainly not for a psychic fraud like his brother’s best friend. Roxanna Kent had a vision of a loyal and true soul mate when she was nine. She didn’t expect him to be named Loyal, or that he would be bitter and jaded and completely closed off to love. One unexpected night has them seeing each other in a different light, and suddenly Loyal finds himself coming up with all kinds of reasons to get up close and personal. Will his heart survive a third blow when it comes to light she might be the con-woman he first thought? Love You, Baby – a “reformed bad boy, single mom, unexpected pregnancy” romance Single mother Mae Lockhart ghosted her best friend’s new brother-in-law after a one night stand, because no way in hell was she going to let herself fall for another irresponsible playboy. Thanks to her bad luck, ignoring him is no longer an option. Merit Diamond hates that his family doesn’t respect him, but it’s easier to bolster a bad boy rep than try to measure up to his successful siblings and risk failure. Until one ordinary Sunday, when his dad cuts him off without a penny and the woman who’s been haunting his dreams shows up on his doorstep to tell him he’s going to be a father. Now he has seven months to get his shit together and earn Mae’s respect. Somehow he must convince her he can not only be a good dad, but the one man she can trust her heart to for the rest of her life. “The whole series is awesome.” ~ Bev, Amazon reviewer “It feels like Christmas for me every time Stacey Joy Netzel releases one of her books.
