Fifth Avenue Flirt by Louise Bay
The Manhattan Billionaires Book 2
Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 22, 2026
One week. No falling in love. Then he’ll get me what I want.
Everyone in New York loves Ben East.
He’s charming. Connected. Infuriatingly handsome. The kind of man who can fix almost any problem with a phone call and a smile.
I don’t trust him for a second.
Sleeping with him, however?
That turns out to be an entirely different matter.
Our one night together is supposed to be exactly that. One night. No expectations, no complications—and definitely no repeat performance.
Then the deal for my dream hotel falls apart.
I’ve spent my whole life as the baby of my family, the one everyone protects. This hotel is my chance to prove—to them and to myself—that I can build something on my own.
And Ben is the one man who can help me get it.
Except he refuses.
He doesn’t mix business with pleasure. And according to Ben, spending any more time together would be a terrible idea anyway, because I’d inevitably fall in love with him.
Obviously, I have to prove him wrong.
So we make a deal.
Seven days living together. No sex. No kissing. No falling in love.
If I make it through the week, he’ll help me get my hotel.
There’s just one thing neither of us planned for.
Somewhere between whispered secrets in Grand Central, burnt cookies at midnight and a rainy Sunday spent in bed, I stop seeing the man everyone loves—and start seeing the man underneath.
The one who takes care of everyone but himself.
The one who makes me laugh.
The one who is becoming dangerously difficult to imagine walking away from.
I went into our bet determined to prove I didn’t need anyone.
But maybe falling in love isn’t about needing someone to save you.
Maybe it’s about finding the person you’d give up everything to choose.

📚ARC REVIEW📚
I don’t think I’ve ever met a Louise Bay story that did not make me giddy and put a huge smile on my face!
Fifth Avenue Flirt was not just a journey of two people to a HEA, which is what the romance genre is all about. The story of Ben & Avril was romantic in a way that lights you up from the inside. At least it did for me. There was banter for days with an overall vibe of swooniness and flirty vibes! I loved it best because as Ben and Avril progress, I felt like I was progressing with them. I felt like I was inside the story feeling all of it. It was like a trance of sorts because I read for hours on end, even after my eyes were super tired!
I’m cutting my review off at this point because I’m hours into the audio and want to finish it before I tell you more. Suffice it to say, I am all up in my feelings all over again and I do not hate it!
MEET THE AUTHO:Â Â International, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Louise Bay writes contemporary romance novels that make you laugh – the kind she likes to read.
Ruined by the bonk-busters of the eighties, Louise was inspired by Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins, but wants to be Emily Henry when she grows up.
Louise loves the rain, RHOBH, London, days when she doesn’t have to wear make-up, hanging out with her kid, elephants and champagne (not necessarily in that order).
She loves to hear from readers so get in touch!
