About this ebook

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes a single-dad sports romance where the only thing more heartfelt than the small town is the love story.

I never wanted to go back to Baker’s Creek.

But when it rains, it pours. I lost my job, lost the guy, and lost the house. The perfect trifecta of ruin.

Ten years after I said I can make it on my own, I have no choice but to ask for help. But it’s my mother who needs me now...

So it’s back to where I don’t belong.

There’s no opportunity in my hometown. The only job that I can get is nannying. For a player from the Vancouver Orcas. “Mean” Mills Aldridge is going to be my new boss… and I’m supposed to pretend he isn’t sex on skates.

Between avoiding the town mean girls, helping my parents, and trying not to behave like a puck bunny, my job with that sweet boy is fast becoming just like the rest of my life--one big complication.

My only escape is my late-night chats with Mills.

The confessions we share make me feel like I belong. The stolen kisses make it hard to remember why I ever left.

Until the opportunity I’ve been waiting for arrives, and it’s time for me to say goodbye.

But can I leave that little boy and his father behind?

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga that’s swoonful and sexy, with the right mix of ugly-cry moments and sweet seductions.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars This is the next book in the series and the next brother to fall. I knew I had to read this one because it's a single dad romance. Om my gosh was little Arden a cutie or what! He stole my heart right away. I loved Hadley and Mills. They had me hooked right from the beginning. Hadley is an awesome character. She's going onto my all time favorite character list. I loved the scenes with Arden and her. The whole family mystery of their dad still has me hooked. I need to know everything!! This book is packed with the feels, but it also made me laugh. I liked the dynamic between the brothers. They each have their roles and personalities. This is a book you don't want to miss. The characters are going to suck you right into the book and you'll look up to see hours have flown by.

This was a fun story. One person returned home after losing everything, and one person who came home out of necessity. Together, Hadley and Mills built a friendship and more. I enjoyed their interactions, both friendly and as lovers. I had tears a couple times as well as a lot of smiles and cheers. I recommend this story and this series. Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter did a wonderful job with the narration.

4.5 Sweet & Steamy Stars! I can not get enough of these sexy Aldridge brothers and The Baker's Creek Billionaire Brothers series! Mills Aldridge is at a crossroads after an injury playing professional hockey. He is a single dad recovering while trying to make a stable loving home for him and his adorable little boy, Arden, but he still feels like an outsider living in Baker's Creek with his brothers. Hadley Heywood grew up in Baker's Creek and couldn't get away fast enough after being bullied while growing up. Now after a shocking event has returned home the one place she never wanted to be again. She and Mills meet one night in the park when they are looking for an escape from the town gossips. They are attracted to each other from the start, not only because they are both statistic nerds, but also because they don't know how they fit it with their families and the town. Hadley is in desperate need of help with finances and the Aldridge family needs a nanny, so they make an arrangement that helps them all. Hadley adores little Arden and they bond instantly which makes Mills fall for her even more. They try to keep everything professional but can't help acting on their attraction. They both dream of making a family together but with both their lives in Bakers Creek temporary, will they find the courage to ask the other to choose them first? This is such a sweet, funny, and heartfelt story. I love the bond these bothers are forming, making them all learn to open themselves up to love, and their sibling banter is more hilarious the more I get to know them! I also love the comradery of all the women and how they support each other, and find laughter when the men make mistakes. I am still so intrigued and invested in finding out more about their father, and why he had them all move to Baker's Creek. This is such a great series, and Mills and Hadley's story was another fun, emotional and steamy romance that captured my heart and made me completely happy!
