Book Description
What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.
What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.
What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin.
Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.
Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races.
She has no idea how beautiful I think she is.
Even when she has flour on her face.
Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.
I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.
And what I want is her.

Still waiting for the woodland creatures to clean her house, though.

My Thoughts
The Billionaire Is Back, co-authored by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais, is a funny, sexy, and beautifully romantic journey that delivers all the emotional "feels." Narrated brilliantly by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais, the story masterfully weaves together beloved tropes—from the brother’s best friend and childhood crush to an all-consuming billionaire romance with a clever fake-relationship twist. Every moment is a delight, capturing the essence of a small-town girl and the one who got away.
Claire Sweeney grew up in Beacon Harbor, Maine, harboring a massive crush on her brother Jake’s best friend, Grady. While Grady was always sweet, he only ever seemed to see her as the tag-along little sister. Determined to escape the financial struggles of his youth, Grady left town to build an empire, eventually becoming a high-flying New York City billionaire. However, a family emergency forces him back to his roots for the first time in years, leading to a high-voltage reunion with a now-grown Claire. The spark between them is instantaneous; while Claire tries to protect her heart by maintaining her distance, a bold and confident Grady is suddenly all up in her business, intent on winning her over.
As they reconnect, the attraction between them sizzles through witty banter and playful teasing. Their chemistry is electric, and the tension builds brilliantly as they transition from past longing to present-day passion. Grady proves to be a master at wooing, offering grand declarations that make the story feel both grounded and wonderfully "swoon-worthy." What makes their dynamic truly stand out is their honesty; after years of separation, they finally know what they want and are ready to claim it. Despite their very different lives, their fierce love shines off the page as they navigate the realities of building a future together.
The narrative provides a complete emotional arc, following them from teenage pining to the complexities of a modern relationship. The supporting cast adds a fantastic layer of depth, from hilarious parents to brothers whose own stories clearly demand to be told—particularly Grady’s complex brother and his brewing spark with Claire’s feisty best friend, Vera. Even the local town gossip and quirky details, like the uniquely named lobsters and the endearing secondary character Clarence "Crabby" Crawford, add to the charm of the setting.
While Claire worries that they don’t have the "right ingredients" for a lasting romance—agreeing only to a fake relationship to help Grady close a deal in New York—she soon discovers exactly how relentless he can be when he wants something. Watching Grady balance his high-stakes career with his devotion to Claire and her bakery is both captivating and heartwarming. This is a story about figuring out what truly makes a heart happy, proving that while the billionaire is back, it’s the love he left behind that finally makes him whole.
