Billionaire romance fulfils an emotional fantasy
Why Readers Love Billionaire Romance
Many people who don’t read romance tend to think billionaire romance is about wealth. They’ve seen Fifty Shades and they assume we’re attracted by the idea of flying in private jets and helicopters, staying in penthouse suites, and being waited on hand and foot by staff.
Well, they’re not completely wrong… 😂 We all love to daydream about traveling in luxury and fantasizing about staying in high-class hotels and not having to cook! (If you want to read more about that, check out my Luxury Romance page, and my blogpost, Why Readers Love Luxury Romance.)
But they’re not completely right, either. Billionaire romance isn't really about wealth. It’s about living the fantasy of being chosen by a competent, confident, capable man who is obsessed with you and only you, and as a result, never having to worry about money again. It’s about the freedom and security that wealth can bring, and the emotional safety of being with someone powerful and rich who can take care of you one day and take you on an exciting adventure to an exotic place the next.
The private jets are fun. But the emotional fantasy is why readers stay.

The Evolution of the Billionaire Hero
Alpha heroes in older romances were portrayed as arrogant and emotionally distant. It was the role of the heroine to tease out his softer side and encourage him to love again. Typically he’d declare his undying love for her on the last page of the novel!
In the 2020s, this is changing for several reasons. Women, of course, are generally more independent now, and we feel more able to make it clear what we want from a relationship, and are less likely to put up with being treated badly.
We want emotionally safe heroes who fall for the heroine from page one, and who are devoted, loyal, and faithful to her. It’s no surprise that #hefallsfirst is a popular hashtag on TikTok and Instagram. We don’t want to be chosen; we want to be the ones doing the choosing.
Equally, we want our men to be protective of us. We still want to be cherished, just within the framework of freedom that we establish for ourselves. Romance authors have to walk a fine line between creating a confident hero and an arrogant one.

Billionaire heroes have a certain class...
What Makes Serenity Woods Billionaires Different
I’ve always been terrible at creating arrogant alphas, LOL. Right from when I started writing, I’ve always written what used to be termed gamma heroes, which were a mixture of alpha and beta. Basically, they’re men who are alpha on the outside, beta on the inside, combining the strong, protective traits of an alpha with the emotional intelligence, empathy, and nurturing nature of a beta. They are often viewed as the ultimate well-rounded, balanced partner.
My billionaires don't build empires by crushing everyone around them. They’re always altruistic heroes working in medicine or other fields that help people, and they often run charities. They’re always kind, respectful, and warm, and they never take their anger out on the women they love.
After saying that, they’re not perfect 😂 I adore a man with a sense of humor, and my heroes love to tease their girls. Think Nathan Fillion, Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Han Solo, Ryan Reynolds, and Ryan Gosling, and you’ll have a good idea of the kind of hero I write!

Luxury Escapism and New Zealand Settings
So what makes my billionaire romances distinctive? It’s the New Zealand setting, which naturally lends itself to luxury escapism. Many youngsters backpack around the country on a budget, but why do that when you can go on a virtual vacation with me for under five dollars? You’ll fly in private jets and helicopters, drive in luxury cars, stay in remote lodges, luxury villas, and five-star hotels, eat the best cuisine, and drink the most expensive NZ wines and whiskies!
From the paradise of the Bay of Islands, to the stunning small cities, to alpine resorts like Queenstown, you’ll be able to explore your favorite travel fantasies in my books.
