Description

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa delivers a funny, heartfelt, sometimes angsty romantic comedy where love begins anew.

Fresh out of Vet school, I married Pierce Aldridge. Gorgeous, sexy, and smart. He’s a philanthropist with a heart of gold, or so I thought.

After a while he became distant, self-centered, and callous. The man I married disappeared before my eyes. I should leave him, but I can’t do it just yet.

There’s one thing I need but I can’t have it if I divorce him. Just a few more months...

But my plans fall through when his father dies.
The man was just as ruthless as his son.

Now I can either spend eighteen months with Pierce in his hometown playing the happy couple or I could avoid the ordeal entirely if I sign the divorce papers. But I would lose the one thing I’ve been wanting my whole life.

The more time that passes, the more I realize that maybe I’ve been wrong.
Maybe the man I married is still there. The man I still love.

But is it too late?

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga packed with the perfect mix of angst, tears, and laughs. If you like strong heroines & alpha males, steamy romances and witty love stories, this series is for you!

    I connected with Leyla so much I could not put it down. I started with Book 1 and honestly it was meh, but i was intrigued with the series. Henry and Sophia were much interesting and sexier and had to pick up book 3 because of them. I’m so glad I did, so far out of the series this had complex layers we all love. Honestly the ending was just as i predicted but still there is so much good writing throughout it didnt matter.

  • Highly recommended & riveting love story!

    Loved reading the engaging and amazing romance story. Faye opens up to Pierce and tells him her secrets, but Pierce's secrets lead him to hurt and distance himself from Faye. After Pierce destroys his marriage to Faye, his father dies, and he needs Faye to either sign the divorce papers or come to Baker's Creek to live with him. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written and riveting story of one woman's selflessness and love for a man. Can't wait to read more books in the series!

    This was a love story gone wrong. But, in the end, true love wins over. I enjoyed this book so much. Couldn’t stop reading. This is a series I will read to the end. You feel like you are a part of the family. It pulls you in. If you haven’t started the series, do it. You’ll love every book.

    Every book from this amazing series by Ms. Burgoa makes me fall in love harder with Baker's Creek and the Aldridge family. This is Pierce and Leyla's story and I have been waiting for this one! These stories can be read as stand alones, but do yourself a favor and read them all! You will get hints, glimpses and a bit of mystery surrounding the marriage of Pierce and Leyla. But now you get the full story and what a heartbreaker it is! You find out more about both of them and you see the beginning of their relationship and marriage. You can see the problems, the bad decisions and the heartbreak that they both feel. This story starts at the end and brings you back to an even better beginning. You see the new evolution of Leyla and Pierce and it's amazing to read! You also get more mystery revealed with what the elder Aldridge plan was for the future of Baker's Creek and his sons. You get more questions that are being asked and I cannot wait to find out more! I wish Baker's Creek was a real place, Ms. Burgoa's talented writing creates a beautiful town and a people that are becoming a part of it.

    I devoured this book! Loved Pierce and Leyla. I actually have been waiting for their story since book 1 and sheesh it did not disappoint. In my heart of hearts I knew there was more to their pasts than the lil preview we received. The dynamic of these 2 was awesome. We could see the instant connection. I will warn that you will want to smack pierce at times but it’s the way he is. Loved and can’t wait for more of these brothers and sister!!

This is a second chance for both of them to realize what their relationship means to each other and rediscover their feelings for each other. The story was very well written and unputdownable.

    Defying Our Forever was really eye opening for me. We met Layla and Pierce in the first book of the series. Until this book I thought he was an insufferable jerk and I wasn’t really sure about her. I just couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t sign the divorce papers. In this story we see how Pierce and Layla met and fell in love. We also find out how they ended up ready to divorce. Their story made my heart hurt. Pierce didn’t want to be the man he had become, his mother had pushed him into being that person. He didn’t understand that he could be better. And poor Layla was an amazing woman. She had a horrific childhood, but turned out to be a very caring person despite her upbringing. This book broke my heart, but was put back together again by the end. As with the other books, we find out a little bit more about the Aldridge mens father. I loved this book and I’m ready to see which brother is next!

  • Fun and delightful read!

    Defying Our Forever by Claudia Burgoa finally tells us the story of Pierce and Leyla. We learn about their history before landing in their current situation. They share witty banter and I loved their back and forth. But with neither being totally open and honest with each other, can they make it together? They definitely share steamy chemistry, but also a whole bunch of obstacles stand in their way. Can they find a way to stay together and see what they truly have before it’s too late? I loved not only getting their history but watching them interact and find each other again. Defying Our Forever by Claudia Burgoa was sweet and charming read full of the best feels. Happy reading!

  • A married second chance

    It happens. One day you wake up next to a stranger that you’ve been married to for years. You’ve grown so far apart you’re both unrecognizable to your spouse. That is the bed that Leyla finds herself in. Her husband Pierce had a messed up father and upbringing but now, they have to keep their eye on the prize. Eighteen months of strings. Claudia had a deft touch writing about Pierce and Leyla...can this couple work through their myriad of issues? Recommend.
