From New York Times Bestselling author, Kristen Proby, comes the first in an all-new trilogy in her beloved Big Sky Series!
Hannah Malone loves her new town. Despite living in Cunningham Falls for five years, she’s still considered a “move in” by most of the locals, and that doesn’t bother her in the least. She’s the “new girl”, and she hasn’t regretted it for one day. This town is her sanctuary. Her home. The one place she finally fits in and feels safe after a lifetime of being different and running from the memories and a past so far away it can’t haunt her anymore.
As the newly appointed police chief, Brad Hull has the responsibility to keep his citizens safe and to maintain order. His roots in this town are deep—five generations deep, to be exact. Cunningham Falls, Montana is his town, and being a cop and protecting what’s his is his passion. Everything’s running like clockwork until a sassy redheaded doctor moves in and disrupts the order—and Brad’s focus.
She’s not just beautiful, funny, and strong. Hannah’s everything he’s been looking for in a woman. The chemistry is undeniable, and the heat in the bedroom is off the charts. Brad knew the minute he met Hannah that she was the one for him. He’s tenacious in his pursuit of her. But when the past catches up with Hannah, will Brad be able to protect her and their hearts?
Oh my sweetness. What an incredible read.
Brad and Hannah have known each other a while. She's still considered the new girl to town by the locals. He's the new police chief. She's a bit quirky. He's a whole lot of reliable. Their attraction is intense, the chemistry white hot, and they balance one another out like they didn't know they could.
This is not an angsty or stressful read, unless you count Hannah's past? Even that wasn't really a cause for incredible worry only because Brad is...it. *smiles* What she does for him, how she calms him, centers him, he does the same for her. The issues she's tried to run from are non-issues because he holds her hand and grounds her.
Hannah's growing trust in him, in what he says, in what he does, is beautiful to watch. He didn't give her a reason to doubt him, didn't do anything to dissuade her belief in what he promised they had and could have between them. The future was bright with possibilities if she believed in them as much as he did.
If you haven't read anything by Kristen Proby, I hope you start with this one. It's perfect for a lazy afternoon read or when you're settling in for the evening. If the writing style doesn't pull you in, the characters will. Brad and Hannah are real, from their personalities to their mannerisms to their struggles to their wants and needs and desires.
What a beautiful story. What beautiful writing! This is my first Kristen Proby story and I'm so glad it is. I look forward to the other books in this series, and I'll have to visit her Love Under the Big Sky series to catch up on other Cunningham Falls stories.
Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
