BLURB
Revenge is pucking sweet. Until the blood won’t wash off my hands and my enemies want their own retribution.
I can only evade them for so long, before they take a shot.
The head coach of the Dusk Bay Demons, the hockey team with everything to prove, won’t let them near me.
Who will he allow? The equipment manager who’s the calm to his storm, and the defenceman whose heart is as dark as he is skilled with his stick.
My guys want to convince our enemies I wasn’t in the game, but that means sacrificing one of them instead. Can I sit out when I have everything to lose, or will the horn call time on our relationship first?
**This is an interconnected, standalone, hockey RH/poly romance**

Title: The Billionaire Is Back Authors: Kayley Loring & Connor Crais
Genres: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy Release Date: January 25, 2024
Tropes: Small Town/Billionaire/Brother’s Best Friend
BLURB
People in this small town are whispering…
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.
Amazon Top 25 and USA Today bestselling author Kayley Loring had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name) before moving to the Pacific Northwest to pen steamy romantic comedy novels. Now she’s breathing cleaner air, writing dirtier words, and staring at her computer screen until her eyeballs dry out instead of getting facials and going to the hair salon. Read or listen to Kayley’s books when you want to laugh, warm your heart, and enjoy top-notch banter, strong heroines who need to be chased, lovable characters you’d want to know in real life, and swoon over perfectly imperfect book boyfriends.
Connor Crais is a classically trained actor living in the Midwest with his wife and three kids. He has been both a stage and television actor, and before plunging into the romance genre, he had been narrating commercials, audiobooks, and explainers for well over a decade from his home studio. From alphas to bosses to cocky sports stars (a particular favorite), he loves sparring with beautiful, sassy heroines (and their talented narrators) but also loves winning them over and reaching that happily ever after. He is excited to now create those stories as an author.
