ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 14, 2026

Theo Williams loved and lost once and isn’t interested in doing it again. He has his family and friends, and plenty of women passing through his new hometown who are happy with a no-strings-attached night of passion. Working as a partner at his cousin’s construction company, he’s perfectly content with his life—until he meets Collins Henderson, the one-night stand who will change his world forever.

Collins grew up on the wrong side of her small hometown. Thanks to her parents’ shady schemes, every local knows a Henderson cannot be trusted. She works hard as a paramedic, putting in every extra hour she can to save for a better life. But every time she starts to get ahead, her parents show up to pull her back down. Having one night of passion with a man she doesn’t know is not something she’d normally do, but there was just something about him … And two months later, she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant.

When she runs into the mysterious stranger again, she has to tell him, not because she needs or wants anything from him, just so he knows. But now he’s showing up at her house, cooking her meals, stocking her refrigerator, and doing everything he can for her. Collins has always taken care of herself. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, but she can’t deny the chemistry between them.

She knows it’s only a matter of time before he learns who she is and changes his mind. She can’t let herself fall for this guy, but every day he’s getting harder to resist …

REVIEW: Falling for You begins with Collins Henderson heading home after a long shift as an EMT. When she hears the dreaded “thumping”, she realizes she has a flat. She pulls off on the side of the road and was reeeeeally hoping she had everything she needed to change a flat, not that she really knew how to do that. She was googling how to accomplish the task at hand when a truck stopped and rolled down the window. The man driving asked if she needed help, which drew her up short. After asking if he was a murderer and working that idea through, she finally accepts Theo Williams’ offer. Once they were finished, he followed Collins home to make sure she made it safely, only to have a night that would change both of their lives forever.

Theo, who co-owns a construction company with his cousin, Caleb, arrives at their offices to catch up on what he’s missed in the last few weeks, having been out of town. Once decisions are made on assignments, their administrative assistant gives Theo a hard time and places a bet that he’ll have a date by Friday night seeing as he is known for his one-night stands.

Theo stops by a potential job site at a police officer’s home when the officer gets a call and has to leave, while telling Theo that shots had been fired at Caleb’s home. Theo arrives at the house just after the officers and ambulance arrive. Caleb’s girlfriend, Sierra, had been shot.

Collins arrives at the scene with her partner. As they are taking Sierra to the ambulance for transport, the last person she expected to see was her one-night stand from nine weeks earlier. Theo is shocked as well. They didn’t know each other before the night he came to her rescue, and he had no idea how to find her. Once they are at the hospital, Theo finds Collins and tries to speak to her about that “night”. She tells him that they do need to talk but not at the hospital. They agreed to meet later for coffee.

Collins knows she has to talk to Theo, but having grown up with notorious parents, she knows she’s the town pariah due to her parents’ preying on the residents. People clutch their purses a little tighter when she walks by, avert their eyes. She can only imagine Theo’s reaction to the news she will be sharing with him, but makes it perfectly clear she expects nothing from him. Best laid plans and all………………

Falling for You is a nicely written story. Both Theo and Collins’ backstories add depth to the characters, especially Collins’. The shame with which she has grown up with will break your heart. Her strength of character will make your heart smile. The secondary characters were well written and added another level to the story. I have to admit though that we never find out why Sierra was shot and I found that a little offputting and left a huge hold in the story. Other than that, I really enjoyed it. Falling for You is ultimately a story of standing up for yourself, dropping your defenses and seeing just how much you are loved. Well done, Natasha Madison!
