When You Blush is LIVE!
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When You Blush, a small-town, forced-proximity romance set in Bitterroot Valley!
Blake
I don’t do relationships, but I’m excellent at casual hookups. That’s not to say I’m a jerk. Not at all. I respect women—all women—and I know the value of love. But I’m married to my job as a physician. In fact, I’m married to the hospital, having a full-time affair with the clinic, and my family is my side piece. I don’t have time for a relationship with a woman.
But then the most beautiful human I’ve ever laid eyes on walks onto my plane, and my world tilts. Thanks to a Montana snowstorm, I spend one incredible night with Harper, but wake up alone. She never told me her last name. She’s just … gone. It would figure that the one woman I could see myself breaking my own rules for is the one I can’t have.
Harper
It’s time for me to come home to Montana to help take care of my dad and pick up the slack for my siblings. I’ve been gone for a long time, but this beautiful corner of the world is my home. I’m excited to start my job as a NICU nurse at Bitterroot Valley General and begin a new chapter in my life. A fresh start. A clean slate.
Then he walks into the room, and it’s suddenly hard to breathe. Blake was the one-night stand who still haunts my dreams. The man can do things. Amazing things. But I never thought I’d see him again. Okay, that’s a lie. I knew he worked at this hospital, but he’s an ER doctor. I’m in a different department, so I planned to avoid him. Yet that didn’t last more than the first hour of my first shift.
Now, he’s pursuing me and saying things like forever. But with a past like mine, can I trust that he won’t tire of me and leave? Or is this finally my happily ever after?

Blurb:
In Kristen Proby’s second novel in her Romancing Manhattan series, a playboy vows never to commit—until he meets the one woman he’s tempted to break his promise for.
Quinn Cavanaugh doesn’t do anything halfway. He drives fast, works hard, and plays even harder. And the word “commitment” doesn’t exist in his dictionary. He has no plans of settling down with one woman for he needs to be free to move on to the next big thing—whatever or whoever that may be. Each party knows the score going into it, and it’s all been working out fine. That is, until a sexy new colleague enters the scene.
Sienna Hendricks doesn’t give much thought to Quinn and the revolving door leading to his bedroom. She’s way too picky about who she shares her time or her body with and screwing around with a colleague isn’t part of her plan either. Quinn doesn’t intimidate her. And unlike most other members of her sex, she doesn’t melt into a puddle at his feet whenever he’s near. Most importantly, she has no issues telling him no.
But for a man who has the world at his feet, Quinn isn’t accustomed to being rejected. And he’s not about to let that change—no matter how persistent Sienna is. To his surprise, Sienna is everything he thought he’d never find. Pursuing her, and convincing her he's changed, is going to be the biggest challenge of his life. One he’s completely up for….

When You Blush Excerpt
Her hands are in my hair, her legs are around my waist, and I can’t even make it to the bed.
I brace her against the wall so I can devour her, kissing the fuck out of her. She tastes like sugar and smells like fucking sunshine.
“Fuck, you’re perfect,” I mutter against her lips.
“Too many clothes,” she says before nipping at the corner of my mouth. “Strip, Blake.”
It’s hot as fuck that she’s as revved as I am about losing the clothes, then losing ourselves in each other.
I let her down to her feet, and then we both peel out of the rest of our clothes. Shoes, socks, and pants are all shed, and when she’s standing in front of me in just her simple blue panties, I feel like I’m going to fucking explode.
“Jesus,” I breathe.
“I don’t have protection with me,” she rasps.
“I do.” I kiss her hard. “Stay. Right. Here.”
I run to my bag, open it, and fish around for the few condoms I threw in just in case, then rush back to her.
She hasn’t moved a muscle, and that makes me smile.
Without a word, she jumps in my arms, and I carry her to the bed. I toss the condoms on the bedside table, pull the covers back, then gently lay her in the middle of the king mattress.
She starts to wiggle into a sitting position, but I press my hand on her sternum.
“Stay down.”
“You’re bossy.”
A salacious grin spreads over my face. “You have no idea.” I hook my fingers into the elastic of her underwear and tug them down her legs, over her feet, and bring them to my nose.
“Blake.” She looks scandalized.
“You smell better than fucking pie.”
She bites that lip, and I spread her wide, and suddenly, she throws her arm over her face and stops watching me.
Oh, hell no.
“Don’t you dare hide from me.” I push up and over her, gently move her arm aside, and brush my lips over hers. “Look at me, Harper.”
She cracks one eye.
“All the way. Look at me, beautiful.”
She sighs and opens those gorgeous gray eyes, and I see the hesitation. The embarrassment. And that’s fucking unacceptable.
“There you are. You’re beautiful. Every inch of you. I’m going to feast on your pretty pink pussy until you pass out.”
She goes to cover her face again, but I hold her wrist and kiss her hand.
“No hiding.”
“I’m … not.”
“And no lying.”
“Blake.” She licks her lips. “I haven’t shaved down there in—”
“Don’t fucking care.” I kiss her again, deeply. “I absolutely don’t care. Honest.”
She winces, takes a breath, and then sighs. “Okay.”
Instead of kissing down her delectable little body the way I want to, I nibble across her shoulder and let my hand journey down her flat and toned stomach, over her pubis and the soft curls there, and right into her sopping wet pussy.
“Fuck, you’re already so beautifully wet for me.”
I press one finger inside her, circle her already hard bundle of nerves with my thumb, and grin against her skin when she moans and moves her hips.
“So responsive. Christ, you’re squeezing the fuck out of my finger. You’re so tight.”
She licks her lips again and widens her legs, silently begging for more.
“What do you need, Harper?”
“You.”
I hum into her neck. “I like the sound of that. I’m right here. I’ve got you. What else do you need?”
I pull my finger out and push two inside. She moans long and deep, her hips lift off the bed, and I smile down into her face as I pull my fingers out and bring them up to my lips, sucking them clean.
“You taste like fucking heaven.”
Then I kiss her so she can taste herself. Her hand moves down my side and over my ass, and I can’t help but flex into her touch.
“Mmm,” she moans against me. “More.”
“I’m going to fuck you,” I assure her, brushing her hair off her cheek. “But first, my face is going to be buried in your perfect pussy. You’ll come on my tongue before you come on my cock. Got it?”
“Holy shit.”
Her pupils dilate, and I kiss her chin before I move down her body, nudging her legs wider with my shoulders.
And when my tongue laps up her core, through all of that wet heat, Harper moans. Her hands dive into my hair, and I. Fucking. Feast.
I’ve wanted to do this since the moment I saw her on that plane. I want to consume her. I want to ravage her.
When I’m finished with this woman, no other man will ever exist for her. No one else will ever come close to being enough.
I settle in to take my time. I lick at her opening, drinking her juices as my fingers gently play with her lips.
And she moans.
I pull those lips into my mouth and suck with tiny pulses, making her squirm, and her hands tighten in my hair.
And then, I push my tongue deep inside her, move my nose over her clit, and she fucking explodes. Her climax is spectacular. Her legs shake, her hips pulse, and she makes a fucking mess of my face.
“Good girl.”
Coming October 2nd!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Breathe, a small-town, MMF, Why Choose romance set in Bitterroot Valley!
Alex
I met Adam and Gabe the old-fashioned way: in a bar. That is, if old-fashioned means that I met a couple of men already in a committed, loving relationship, and they took me home for a night of debauchery and fun, then yeah. That.
It's just supposed to be one night. I don't want to be the third wheel or put any kind of a wrench in their love story. These two guys are perfect together. Gabe is the laid-back, easygoing auto mechanic with muscles for freaking days. Adam isn't lacking in the muscle department either, honestly, but he's more intense, a little more bruised from a shaky past.
Like me.
I find myself craving their attention all the time. And they don't seem to want to let me go. What started as one night has turned into something so much ... more. I'm a girl who thought she wasn't lovable, and instead, these two men are proving to me that the three of us could have something really special.
But it's hard for me to trust, and letting go of the last of my independence may be where I draw the line. Will these men let me walk away, or will they fight for us?

Where We Bloom is LIVE!
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Where We Bloom, an Age Gap, Billionaire, Best Friend’s Brother romance set in Bitterroot Valley!
Connor
After an explosive night together, I thought I’d never see the gorgeous bookstore owner again.
We didn’t exchange names and numbers, and when I left her asleep the following morning, I didn’t intend to pursue her. I don’t have time for relationships nor entanglements.
I’m the CEO of Gallagher Hotels, and my life is spent traveling around the world, focusing on my business, not a small town in Montana. Even if my thoughts keep returning to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.
It turns out, my mystery woman, Billie, is my sister’s best friend, and she’s suddenly everywhere I turn. She’s become my obsession and all I think about. She’s become the only thing that means more to me than running my empire. And I’m determined to have her.
Billie
Owning a bookstore in my hometown of Bitterroot Valley has been my lifelong dream since I was a little girl. The only thing that brings me more joy is my love of thrift stores and coffee.
And, maybe, the sexy Irishman with intense emerald-colored eyes that take my breath away. His charming accent, how he looks at me, and the way he spoils me with lavish gifts are just the icing on the cake. I’ve tried to stay away from him, but my resolve is slipping. Nothing is better than being in Connor’s arms and feeling like I’m the most important woman in his world. But being with a high-profile billionaire comes with a price. Can we withstand the storm headed our way, or are we destined to fall apart like delicate blooms in the wind?

I’ve tried to stay away from him, but my resolve is slipping. Nothing is better than being in Connor’s arms and feeling like I’m the most important woman in his world. But being with a high profile billionaire comes with a price. Can we withstand the storm headed our way or are we destined to fall apart like delicate blooms in the wind?

When We Break is LIVE!
From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Break, a small-town, cowboy, heroine in danger romance, set in Bitterroot Valley!
Beckett
I’ve seen the gorgeous redhead with the big black dog that never leaves her side around town. She’s impossible to miss with that lush red hair and perfect green eyes. But it’s when she opens her plump lips and the sound of Ireland comes out of her kissable mouth that I know I’m a goner. I know she’s the one for me and I’ll do whatever it takes to make Skyla Gallagher mine. I can be a patient man and all I want in the world is to worship every bit of her, inside and out.
Skyla
I moved to the lovely town of Bitterroot Valley, Montana because I needed a safe place. I left my life in New York as a prima ballerina after an injury that I never fully healed from, and to escape the obsession of a madman. I adore this new community, but I must admit that Beckett Blackwell is the very best part. I love his kindness, his patience, and his thoughtfulness. But most of all, I can’t get enough of the way he worships my body, and then does everything he can to pamper me afterwards. Beckett is a drug that I’ve become addicted to. But will my stalker find me in Montana, ruining everything we’ve started together, before we have had our chance at forever?

When We Break Excerpt
“It’s sexy as fuck having you on my farm, Irish.”
She turns away from the horse and loops her arms around my waist, staring up at me with happy eyes and lips that I could lose myself in.
“I enjoy being here,” she says softly. “We should probably go back to the house and check on Riley.”
She requested that we leave the dog at the house so she didn’t have to worry about him and could fully enjoy the tour. It surprised me and made me feel good because that meant she trusted her safety with me.
“In a minute. First, I think I’ll fuck you in this barn.”
Her jaw drops, her pupils dilate, and her arms tighten around me in response.
“Don’t hate that idea, do you?”
“No, I don’t hate it,” she admits, “but someone could walk in. You have employees all over the place.”
I gave explicit instructions for everyone to steer clear of this barn for the next hour, but I don’t tell her that.
Instead, I grin down at her.
“Then you’d better be quiet, Irish.”
She hums deep in her throat as I lower my mouth to hers, her lips already open and ready for me. She purrs—fucking purrs—and grips my shirt with her fists before gliding them around to the front of my jeans, and I steal both hands in mine, then kiss them.
“If you touch me,” I growl against her neck as I keep her hands in mine between us, “I’ll lose control, and I’m doing my best to keep it together here.”
“Well, damn,” she whispers, making me grin against her skin. I nibble her pulse point and glide my tongue up to the shell of her ear.
“You smell so fucking good.”
Skyla whimpers, and it makes my cock twitch in my jeans.
“I’m going to make you come undone. I’m going to make you feel things that you never have before. Keep your hands at your sides.”
Letting her hands go, I frame her face so I can kiss her, but her sweet little hands land on my stomach, and it makes me feral.
Jesus, just one touch from this woman, and I want to wreck her in the most carnal, delicious ways. But I don’t want to send her running for the hills.
“Nope.” After having her hands removed once more, Skyla pouts, sticking out her lower lip, and I bite it. “Since you won’t follow directions, I’m going to restrain you.”
I’m staring into her lust-filled eyes to get her reaction, and she bites that pillow of a bottom lip as her eyes widen.
“If you ever want me to stop, you say so, and it immediately ends. Understand?”
“Yes, Beckett.”
Jesus fucking Christ on a stick.
My eyes slowly close as my blood heats, and I blindly reach out for a leather horse lead and guide Skyla over to a pole in the middle of the room.
“Grab the pole.”
She frowns, her eyes bouncing between me and the rough wood. “How?”
I move up behind her and let my hand drift over her hip and up her side, and she trembles under my hand. “I want you to bend over and grab that pole for me.”
“I still have my jeans on.”
Grinning against her neck, I drag my nose back and forth over her skin, making it pebble up in goose bumps.
“I don’t fucking care, Irish.”
Letting out a shaky breath, she leans forward, sticking her perfect peach of an ass out, and grabs the pole.
“I’m going to tie you there,” I inform her. “Okay?”
“Yes.” There’s no hesitation in her breathless response, so I wrap the thin leather around her wrists in a figure eight before securing it around the pole. I check to make sure that she can’t slip out of it but also that it’s not cutting off her blood flow.
“Good girl,” I murmur, leaning in to kiss her shoulder. I love that I have control of her. That I can pleasure and enjoy her until I’m ready for her to return the favor.
Her sweatshirt has ridden up, exposing the smooth flesh of her lower back, and I press wet kisses there, making her moan. Reaching around, I unfasten her jeans and work them over her ass and down her hips to mid-thigh, where I’ll leave them.
“The air feels cool,” she says, her voice thick with arousal.
“I’m going to warm you up.”

When We Break Excerpt
At seven on the dot, I pull up in front of the house in a neighborhood I don’t know all that well. It’s a newer subdivision with larger lots, so she’s not close to her neighbors.
A wrought iron fence, at least eight feet tall, surrounds the property, and she even has a gate and cameras. Her security system is impressive.
When I press the button, there’s only a slight pause before Skyla answers.
“It’s Beckett,” I say to her.
“Drive on through,” she replies, and the gate swings open, allowing me to pass.
The house isn’t huge. My farmhouse likely has more square footage, but Skyla’s home is newer, and I can see it’s well taken care of, with tulips blooming along the side of the porch and shrubberies perfectly groomed.
After parking, I walk up to the front door and ring the bell. I hear Riley bark only once as if he’s letting his human know someone’s at the door.
And when said door swings open, my jaw drops.
Skyla’s dressed casually, but that doesn’t mean she’s not dressed to kill.
And kill me she just might.
Her jeans fit her waist and ass perfectly, and her soft pink sweater falls off one shoulder, showing me creamy white skin and even more freckles that I want to trace with my tongue.
Her hair is loose and straight, falling almost to her waist.
But those alluring eyes currently taking a tour of my body hypnotize me.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I breathe, unable to hold the words in, and Skyla’s gaze snaps up to mine. Her cheeks darken as she bites her lower lip.
“So are you,” she whispers before clearing her throat and turning her attention to Riley. “I prefer to take him.”
“Of course.” I’m glad I thought ahead about her mountain of a dog. “I called ahead and made sure he could come with. We’re just going to Old Town Pizza, and Heather, the owner, said it’s no trouble at all for him to join us.”
Skyla blinks up at me. “You included Riley in the reservation?”
“Well, yeah. I noticed that you take him everywhere and that he sometimes wears a service-dog vest, so I thought you’d want him along.”
“Wow, thank you for thinking of him.”
“It’s no trouble. He should fit in the back seat of my truck.”
“Why don’t we take my SUV?” she asks, pointing toward the garage. “I bought it just to accommodate this big boy. Don’t worry, you can drive, so it still feels like a proper date.”
I grin at her and nod. “So I’ve brought you over to the real date side."
Skyla laughs that infectious laugh and leads me through her house to the garage where her vehicle is. We get Riley situated and climb in, then I start it up.
“This is a nice car,” I comment as I push the seat back to allow for my long legs.
“I like it. Without the dog, I don’t need anything this big, but my boy weighs over one hundred and fifty pounds, and he needs something comfy.”
The gate opens for us, and I drive us through, surprised that I feel so comfortable driving her vehicle. I wonder if some men might take issue with her request, but I’m quickly figuring out that I’ll do anything to accommodate this woman’s needs.
Including calling Heather about Riley.
“Have you had him long?”
“Riley?”
“Yeah. He’s a great dog.”
“Thank you.” She grins back at the enormous canine. “I’ve had him for about a year now and can’t imagine my life without him. Do you have any dogs at the ranch?”
“I don’t have one right now, but my manager, Brad, has a lab named Sadie. She had puppies last year.”
“You didn’t snag one?” she asks. “You seem like the dog type. Riley’s taken with you.”
Here’s to hoping his owner is just as taken with me by the end of this date.
“No time for a puppy right now. I hope you like pizza.” I frown over at her once I’ve parked. “I should have asked.”
“Are there people who don’t enjoy pizza?”
