From New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all new novel in her Big Sky series, Courage.
This is the first story in the Heroes of Big Sky, all about men in uniform in Cunningham Falls!

Natasha Mills feels like she’s loved firefighter Sam Waters her entire life. Since she first met him during middle school, she’s harbored a secret crush on her best friend’s big brother. It’s just something she lives with every day—too bad he doesn’t notice her. To Sam, Tash is his little sister’s best friend and that’s it.

Disaster strikes the Waters family, leaving Sam’s sister and her husband dead, and their young children in the hands of Sam and Natasha. Suddenly, these two are navigating the loss of people they loved, while trying to figure out parenthood together. The grief is devastating, and raising twins is harder than either of them bargained for. But in working together, and leaning on each other, Sam and Tash learn that family comes in all different shapes and sizes.

The more time he spends with Natasha though, the more Sam realizes just how sweet and sexy she really is. He finds himself slowly but surely falling for her. But when the time comes for him to let her go—will he be able to walk away from the family he’s helped build?

Courage by Kristen Proby is a story that touched my heart… as the blurb shares Natasha Mills is now raising her best friend’s twins, Sam Waters niece and nephew.

Left in charge of the estate and co-guardians of 5-year-old twins this close proximity soon has the dynamic between these lifelong friends shifting…. Proby does a wonderful job at allowing the reader to FEEL the shift Sam experiences as he no longer sees Tash as his little sister’s friend.  And at making it VERY clear this attractive has nothing to do with the twins.

Sam’s small gestures really endear him to the reader, forget buying gifts… DO THE LAUNDRY, Pack LUNCH!

The element of grief is laced into this story and with her nack for amazing dialogue and banter Proby covers this “heavy” topic in a way that reads easy.

Proby has such a way of pulling the reader in as she craft a world that feels real, Cummingham Falls feels like returning home  I am so excited for Seth King in Shelter… and I do hope Natasha’s brother gets a happy in another book in the series!

This book is easily read stand-alone while allowed readers of the related series to feel like they are coming home.

Side Note: readers of Proby’s Big Sky Series have waited a long time for Sam’s story and boy was it worth the wait!
