From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her With Me In Seattle series…
Sabrina Harrison hates being famous. She walked away from show business, from the flashing bulbs and prying eyes years ago, and is happy in her rural Oregon home, dedicating her life to her non-profit.
Until Hollywood calls, offering her the role of a lifetime. In more than ten years, she’s never felt the pull to return to the business that shunned her, but this role is everything Sabrina’s ever longed for.
Now she has to get in shape for it.
Benjamin Demarco’s gym, Sound Fitness, continues making a name for itself in Seattle. And now, he finds himself with the task of training Sabrina, getting her in shape for the role of her life. He’s trained hundreds of women. This is his job. So why does he suddenly see Sabrina as more than just another client? His hands linger on her skin, his breath catches when she’s near.
He knows better. Soon, she’ll be
gone, living her life. A life that doesn’t include him.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a
standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world.
And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy
each one as much as we do.**
Ben and Sabrina (Rina) were just plain fun.
But, at this point, does anyone really expect me not to love a title by Kristen Proby? I mean, I suppose it may happen eventually, but I will be more than a little shocked.
This was a shorter title with a fun premise that actually made working out sound like it might be fun. Ok, that's an exaggeration...but this book was fun.
I loved Ben and Rina. I loved how they made one another better, without making it seem like there was something wrong with either of them before.
I love books by this author as you really feel you get to know the characters, and get to know them as people, and that makes it even more fun.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.

“There will be no more kissing.”
I’m staring at myself in the mirror.
I have sleepy eyes, my face is clean of makeup, and my hair is up in a bun with
a headband in place to keep the flyaways off my face while we ride.
I’m giving myself a stern talking-to.
“No kissing.” I point my finger at my
mirror image. “Yes, he’s hot, and his hands are crazy amazing, and it would
probably be the best sex of your life.”
I frown.
“No one said anything about sex. Now you’re taking it too far, Rina.
Keep your hands and lips to yourself and just work on getting ready for this
role. That’s the job. Doing Ben is not the job here.”
I narrow my eyes at myself and then
nod once in satisfaction.
That’s been decided.
Ben suggested I wear layers, and I
followed orders. I’m in workout pants and a t-shirt with a sweatshirt over
that. I have a scarf to put around my neck if I need it. It’s winter in
Seattle, which means it could be seventy or thirty.
You never know.
But I do know that it’s cooler by the water. Though the fresh air will
feel good.
I’ve just finished eating a bowl of
cantaloupe when the doorbell rings.
It’s six on the dot. He’s right on
time.
“Always punctual,” I murmur as I
unlock and open the front door. “Good mor—”
He sweeps in, pulls me against him,
and plants those lips on mine. I loop my arms around his neck and let him have
his way with me.
Because I’m a red-blooded woman, and
Ben is hot as hell.
Hot. As. Hell.
My stern bathroom conversation goes
right down the toilet as he pushes the door closed with his foot and spins me
around to pin me against it.
His hands skim down my sides, then
move back up again to frame my face as he thoroughly explores my mouth.
I was still half-asleep when he
arrived. I’m fully alert now.
He’s breathing hard when he pulls
away, and his blue eyes are on fire as he stares down at me.
“Good morning,” he says.
“Hi.”
“I couldn’t help myself.”
“Not complaining.” I feel the smile
slowly spreading over my face. “I gave myself a pep talk earlier, explaining
that we weren’t going to do that again.”
“Sorry, I didn’t get the memo.”
I swallow hard as he backs away.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind. Is it hot in
here?”
He laughs and points at my
sweatshirt. “You’re dressed for cold weather.”
“Right. Yeah. Okay, so we’re going on
a bike ride?”
Meet Kristen
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.
