I am drawn to all books and novellas that have the some form of the word "Billionaire" in the title. After reading the book blurb, I just had to read Fireside Inn.  This is the first book I have read by Lily Everett and it certainly won't be the last.This story is about four billionaires who are also very good friends.  Miles Harrington is the oldest and he is getting married to the love of his life on the island of Sanctuary Cove. Miles professes that the island is the cure-all for the lovelorn and bets his friends, that by the time of his wedding, they will all have experienced the magic of finding love in Sanctuary Cove.  This novella focuses on Lord Leo Strathairn, a handsome billionaire of old British money.  Leo harbors a secret that he has never shared with anyone, that is until he meets Serena Lightfoot, the head librarian of the Sanctuary Cove Library.Serena is an extremely smart and attractive woman.  She enjoys managing the small library immensely and will do whatever fundraising is necessary to keep it open for all to enjoy.  When Leo approaches her about helping him find the perfect reading for Miles' wedding, she agrees on the condition that Leo will introduce her to some of the people that may be able to make a substantial donation to the library.Serena and Leo have instant chemistry and their platonic relationship evolves into much more very quickly.  However, in order for them to have a future together, they must learn how to let go of their insecurities.Fireside Inn is an sweet, fast-paced novella.  The characters are well-defined, likeable and real. If you have some time to spare, you may want to spend it in Sanctuary Cove.
