rom 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.**

Shine With Me by Kristen Proby is a novella set inside her With Me In Seattle world but as with much of the 1001 Dark Nights novellas is designed to be read standalone.

When a role Sabrina “Rina” Harrison feels she was meant to play pulls her out of the self-induced seclusion she ends up in the orbit of personal trainer Benjamin “Ben” Demarco.  Ben is charged by the film’s producer Luke Williams to get Rina into the shape needed to play an FBI agent to hunts serial killers.

Rina and Ben’s story is a fun and light-hearted love story. It is laced with classic Proby banter and is a great introduction to her writing and this world.

Proby did a wonderful job in this novella by allowing the reader insight into each character using Ben’s friendship with Nic (from Tied with Me) and Rina’s bond with Zane (psssss I want a happy for Zane in a future book).  Rina’s charity was worked into the plot to not only show who she is as a person but also used to show Ben falling for the whole person not just the “package” he is charged with getting into tip top shape.

Ben and Rina’s love is one the reader can feel will have each supporting each other’s career as they enjoy a life together.

If you have not read this series book one Come Away with Me (the story of Luke Williams an intricate secondary character in this read) is FREE!

Side Note as a big fan of this series it was great to see some many characters wove into this story and that this plot was born out of the most recent book the series Imagine with Me
