ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2026

Five years ago, Secret Service Agent Gideon James took a bullet to protect me.

It haunts me every single day.

As the president’s daughter, my life has never truly been my own. But when a traitor in my security detail tries to kidnap me, Mom sends me to Montana—to the one man who’s never failed to keep me safe.

These days, Gideon runs an elite security training facility on his family ranch. He’s not exactly thrilled to see me, and his family trusts me even less. But during our intense self-defense sessions, something electric ignites between us. Those steel-gray eyes see past my title to who I really am. For the first time, I’m discovering my own strength—and a desire I can’t deny.

Just as I’m falling hard, betrayal strikes again, threatening everything Gideon and I have built. Now I must choose between protecting my heart and fighting for the man who’s always protected me—and the only place I’ve ever truly belonged.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 17, 2026

Fifteen years ago, my best friend found salvation at the Triple Creek Ranch, transforming from an angry foster kid into a hockey legend. Now, with his adoptive father’s death forcing him home, Ryker’s trading his hockey stick for ranch life—and I’m not sure my heart can handle having him this close again.

I’ve spent the past decade raising my troubled nephew alone while building my career as an audiobook narrator. When my boy needs a fresh start, Ryker offers us sanctuary at the ranch. But living under the same roof with the man who’s always owned my heart ignites feelings I’ve tried hard to bury.

Between helping manage a struggling ranch, watching my nephew find his way, and dealing with the shadows of Ryker’s fame, we discover our connection is stronger than ever. But when threats from his past surface, we’ll have to decide if our second chance is worth fighting for.

•••••

REVIEW:SAFE HAVEN is the first instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult TRIPLE CREEK RANCH erotic, romance series. This is thirty-five year old, professional hockey player turner rancher Ryker James, and romance novel narrator Willow’s story line. For fans of Kristen Proby, several characters cross over or are mentioned in the current timeline from other series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Willow and Ryker) SAFE HAVEN follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-five year old, professional hockey player turner rancher Ryker James, and romance novel narrator Willow. At the age of fifteen, Ryker and his soon to be best friend Gideon would find themselves the foster kids to ranchers Ray and Debbie James where they would meet Ray’s niece Willow, and the trio would form a lifelong friendship. Fast forward twenty years, the death of Ray James would bring the friends back together, and Ryker would set about seducing the only woman he has ever loved. Raising her sister’s son Aiden, Willow is finding herself overwhelmed with Aiden’s teenage mood swings, when Ryker offers a place for summer at the James’ family ranch, pushing our couple together for the foreseeable future. At thirty-five, Ryker is considering retirement from professional hockey, working toward running the ranch for troubled teens but Ryker’s past refuses to let go, and Willow will be targeted in a need for vengeance.

The world building follows several pathways including Ryker’s hockey career and upcoming contract renewal, Aiden’s struggle to fit in, Willow’s growing love for our story line hero, and Gideon’s most recent assignment working for the POTUS. Ryker’s career as a professional hockey play would take him all across North America, as Gideon’s career as a security specialist meant travelling the world.

The relationship between Ryker and Willow is a best friends to lovers. Twenty years earlier, Ryker and Gideon would be adopted by Ray and Debbie James, and in doing so, a lifelong friendship would ensue. Ryker has never stopped loving the girl that had stolen his heart, and time spent together meant a chance to claim Willow as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 6, 2025

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?

REVIEW: WHEN WE BREATHE by Kristen Proby is a contemporary, adult, why-choose novella found in the author’s THE BLACKWELLS OF MONTANA erotic, romance series. This is reporter Alex Lexington, mechanic Gabe Blackwell, and financial advisor Adam Cavanaugh’s story line. WHEN WE BREATHE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Alex, Gabe, Adam) WHEN WE BREATHE focuses on the insta-love relationship between reporter Alex Lexington, mechanic Gabe Blackwell, and financial advisor Adam Cavanaugh. Adam and Gabe are in a committed relationship but one look at reporter Aelx Lexington both men know she is the only woman they would ever want but Alex’s demons run dangerous and dark, and in this, our heroine struggles to trust, fearing a broken heart and too much damage to ever be normal.

The rapidly building relationship between Alex, Gabe and Adam is one of insta-lust to love. An introduction at a bar, one weekend together, and Adam and Gabe know they want to spend the rest of their life worshipping our story line heroine but Alex continues to struggle with the demons from her past, demons that refuse to let go. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Alex’s siblings including Holden, Dani and Darby, as well as a few of the Blackwell clan Billie and Bridger.

WHEN WE BREATHE is a story of abuse and healing, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is entertaining and heart breaking-the conflict focuses on Alex’s past trauma; the romance is seductive and energetic; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 2, 2025

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?

•••••

REVIEW: WHEN YOU BLUSH is the fourth instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult THE BLACKWELLS OF MONTANA erotic, romance series, a spin off set in the author’s THE WILDS OF MONTANA series, which in turn is a spin off from the author’s WITH ME IN SEATTLE /SINGLE IN SEATTLE series. This is thirty-four year old family practitioner / ER physician Blake Blackwell, and thirty year old, NICU nurse Harper Hendrix’s story line. WHEN YOU BLUSH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives (Blake and Harper) WHEN YOU BLUSH follows in the wake of a one-night stand. Dr. Blake Blackwell doesn’t have time for relationships but meeting travelling nurse Harper Hendrix, on a weather hampered flight back to Montana, stirs something deep within our story line hero. A one-night stand ends with Harper ghosting Blake; months will pass, and Blake has all but given up hope of ever meeting our heroine again but a chance encounter at the hospital where Blake works in Bitterroot Valley finds Harper has chosen to return to her roots, accepting a position just floors from our story line hero. As Blake and Harper begin a dance of seduction, Harper struggles with issues of trust, as memories from the past refuse to let go.

The world building introduces the reader to Harper’s large extended family of the heart, who are protective of our story line heroine, as well as the triggers that continue to affect our heroine moving forward. Blake is the quintessential doctor who doesn’t have time for anyone in his life but his attraction to Harper forces Blake to change his path, moving forward.

The relationship between Harper and Blake begins as a one-night stand, to co-workers whose attraction to one another cannot be ignored. Neither Blake nor Harper have the time for relationships but our couple are determined to act on their attraction, pursuing something more but Harper’s stubbornness and issues of trust begin to affect her relationship with Blake, yet Blake is willing to take a chance with the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, dynamic and energetic secondary and supporting characters including both Harper and Blake’s large extended families. We are introduced to Harper’s ‘family of the heart’: father Greg Hendrix, foster siblings Xander, Tucker, Easton, and Ava Hendrix ; as well as the return of Blake’s siblings: Bridger and Dani (Dani’s sisters Alex and Charlie), Beckett, Billie and her husband Connor, Brooks and his ex Juliet; Connor’s sister Skyla.

WHEN YOU BLUSH is a story of trust and misunderstanding, family and friendships, relationships and love, The character driven premise is intriguing, spicy and inviting; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and charismatic.

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?

REVIEW: WHERE WE BLOOM is the third instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult THE BLACKWELLS OF MONTANA erotic,romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s The Wilds of Montana series. This is forty-year old, billionaire real-estate developer and hotelier Connor Gallager, and twenty-seven year old, book store owner Billie Blackwell’s story line. WHERE WE BLOOM can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Connor and Billie) WHERE WE BLOOM follows the building romance and relationship between forty-year old, billionaire real-estate developer and hotelier Connor Gallager, and twenty-seven year old, book store owner Billie Blackwell. Several months earlier, a one-night stand ended when Connor walked away knowing there would never be a future but Connor and Billie would come in and out of one another’s lives when Billie discovers Connor is her best friend’s older brother, a man Billie knew nothing about. As Billie and Connor’s relationship continues in secret, Billie realizes there is no future, and is determined to push Connor out of her life. Connor is determined he wants something more, and Billie is the woman that calls to his heart but Connor is keeping secrets, and Billie may be caught in the direct line of fire.

The world building follows Connor as he journeys between the US and Europe, staying on top of the Gallagher Hotel chain as CEO but a group of radicals is threatening a new build in Sweden, and Connor finds himself caught between protecting the woman he loves, the future of Gallagher Hotels on the other side of the world.

The relationship between Connor and Billie begins as a one-night stand that quickly turns into something more but Connor doesn’t do relationships, and struggles with possible threats against the people in his life. As a billionaire Connor is always a target, and falling for Billie means, placing a target on the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Billie’s siblings and their significant others, their parents and Billie’s co-workers and friend. We are introduced to Connor’s security team including Miller and Simon, as well as Connor’s ex wife Fiona, and her husband Ronan, aka Connor’s best friend.

WHERE WE BLOOM is a story of secrets and danger, power and control, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is captivating and sensational; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are charismatic and dynamic. Kristen Proby drops the names of a number of romance authors, to the point, it feels like advertising and promotion.

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 3, 2024

Brady Wild has focused on one thing this entire adult life: riding bulls. A three-time world champion, Brady’s body has taken a beating over the years and he knows he’s nearing the end of his impressive career. He’s had no time for relationships with his dangerous career but the minute he sees sexy single mom, Abbi Kastella, he knows it’s game over for his resolve to be single.

Abbi is a mom, first and foremost, and she’ll do whatever needs to be done to keep her daughter safe from the danger that’s chased them for half a dozen years. She’s finally been able to set down roots in Bitterroot Valley for herself and Daisy. She adores this community that has welcomed them with open arms, her new business is thriving, and she has a circle of friends that she loves and trusts. And don’t even get her started on the hazel-eyed, muscled up cowboy that makes her whole body tremble with need. Life is good in this little Montana town and Brady is showing her and her little girl what real love is supposed to be.

Despite Brady’s best intentions he can’t resist his blue-eyed siren, or the sweet little girl that has him wrapped around her little finger. But when Abbi’s past catches up with them, Brady quickly realizes that the secrets that Abbi’s been keeping from him are far worse than any damage his career could do to them. Will they lose everything before it even really begins? Or will love prevail so they can get started on their forever On the Wild Side?

REVIEW:ON THE WILD SIDE is the fourth instalment in Kristen Proby’s contemporary, adult THE WILDS OF MONTANA erotic, romance series.- a spin off from the author’s WITH ME IN SEATTLE /SINGLE IN SEATTLE series. This is thirty-three year old rancher/ bull rider Brady Wild, and single mother/business owner Abbi Kastella’s story line. ON THE WILD SIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Abbi and Brady) ON THE WILD SIDE follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Approximately five years earlier, Abbi’s best friend and husband Nate died, leaving her a single mother struggling to provide. Fast forward to present day, Abbi and her daughter Daisy have moved to Montana, where they find themselves engulfed in the Wild family, as one of their own. When her seven year old daughter needed a ‘father’ for the father-daughter dance, Brady Wild volunteered . An early snowstorm would find Brady stranded at Abbi’s where our couple would discover their mutual attraction but Brady doesn’t do relationships, and in this Abbi finds herself pushed to the side. As the days and weeks pass, Brady cannot forget about our story line heroine, and begins a slow seduction of Abbi but Abbi has a dark secret, a past mired in pain, a past that is refusing to let go. Meanwhile, Brady Wild is considering a future with the woman with whom he is falling in love but the rodeo circuit calls, and Brady is struggling between head and heart.

The world building follows several pathways including Abbi’s struggle as a single mother, a successful business woman, a past that has left her always looking over her shoulder, and the acceptance and protection of the Wild’s and their friends.

The relationship between Abbi and Brady begins as friends but Abbi is hoping for something more. Brady battles his demons and the possibility of serious injury, and in this, Brady refuses to settle down, or make plans for the future. Falling for Abbi and her daughter Daisy is easy, keeping them safe may be an entirely different matter. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we met in the previous story lines. The Wild family is loving, caring, and accept Abbi and Daisy as one of their own-no one is left alone or taken for granted.

ON THE WILD SIDE is a story of secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is inviting and intriguing; the characters are sassy, animated and charming; the romance is real and compelling.
