When We Breathe Cover Reveal!

Releasing: November 6, 2025


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?

When You Blush Cover Reveal!

Releasing: October 2, 2025

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes Where 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.

Tropes:
Chance Encounter
Workplace Romance
Surprise Pregnancy
He Falls First
Obsessed Hero
Reformed Bachelor

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?

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?”

When We Burn is LIVE!

From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes When We Burn, a single-dad, friends-to-lovers, small-town romance, and the first in the Blackwells of Montana series, set in Bitterroot Valley!

Bridger

I’m her safe place.

I always have been.

The torment that Dani Lexington went through at the hands of her father was something no child should have had to endure. But I was the lucky one she turned to.

Our age difference and the fact that her brother was my best friend kept her off-limits, even though something was always there, lingering under the surface.

But when she was old enough, she left Bitterroot Valley, and I was forced to move on with my life.

I got married and had my little girl. Now, I’m a single dad, focused on my job as fire chief and making sure my daughter stays healthy after a mysterious illness has plagued her for the past year.

But after Dani’s father dies, she returns to Bitterroot Valley and is now living across the street from my daughter and me.

Dani’s no longer a child. No longer off limits.

This time, I won’t let anything or anyone stop me from being her safe place again.

Dani

I’ve been in love with Bridger Blackwell for as long as I can remember.

He’s a smoke show, kind, and gives the best hugs in the world. But best of all? He’s everything my sorry excuse for a father wasn’t.

Now, I’m back in Bitterroot Valley, living across the street from Bridger and his adorable daughter.

It doesn’t take long for all those old feelings to come rushing back, and every cell in my body knows that I belong with them.

That they’re mine.

Bridger’s arms are where I feel safest. They feel like home.

I’m growing to depend on him, to truly love him and his daughter. But I have deep-rooted baggage, and Bridger’s past has decided to rear its ugly head.

Will we survive this, or is our relationship doomed from the start?

When We Burn Excerpt

She grins and stands, and I join her as we walk to the porch. “Oh, I need to return this and your T-shirt to you.”

She plucks at the hoodie, and I scowl.

“The fuck you do. You’re keeping that. I love seeing you in my shit. I don’t want it back.”

“You didn’t let me finish. I need to give them back to you because I’ve worn them pretty much nonstop for the past week, and they don’t smell like you anymore. I need them to smell like you.”

Without a word, I march over to my house, quietly let myself in so I don’t wake my daughter, and gather up a sweatshirt I wore yesterday, along with two of my T-shirts out of my drawer, then walk back to where Dani’s still sitting on the porch and hold them out for her.

“Here. You can have them all. Keep them.”

Her eyes bounce from mine to the clothes I’m holding, and then she takes them and buries her nose in them, inhaling deeply.

“Nothing smells better than you,” she murmurs, and it makes my heart stutter again, and my cock twitch. “Hold on.”

She hurries inside and returns ten seconds later with the T-shirt, and passes it to me. Then, she looks around to see if anyone’s watching, turns her back to the street, and quickly strips out of my hoodie, shoves it at me, and replaces it with the zip-up I just gave her, pulling the zipper all the way to her neck.

She buries her face in the red material and sighs happily.

“That’s so much better.”

“You just stripped on your porch, kitten.”

“I wanted to trade you.” She shrugs while still sniffing my sweatshirt. “No one saw.”

“You’d better hope they didn’t, because if anyone sees what’s mine, I’ll fucking tear their eyes out of their head. Don’t do that again.”

She blinks and then walks right into my arms, holding me tightly around the middle, her head pressed to my chest. “Okay.”
