From NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a forbidden romance. The Secret is the first in the Single in Seattle series!

Vaughn is everything I’m supposed to stay away from. Sexy. Cocky. And famous.

Ultra-famous.

I grew up in a family full of wealthy celebrities. My father, Luke Williams, is the celebrity of them all. A superstar actor and producer, my father knows the downside of living in the spotlight. And because of that, he sheltered my siblings and me from everything Hollywood entailed. We didn’t attend premieres. We weren’t photographed. There were no friendships with other celebrities’ children.

The limelight couldn’t touch us.

But now, at twenty-five, I’m ready to start my life, working for my father’s production company in downtown Seattle—until Vaughn Barrymore walks through the door.

He can’t keep his hands off me. He’s completely forbidden, but I can’t help falling for the sweet, complicated man.
When—and it’s when not if—my family finds out that I’ve been keeping this secret, will I have to choose between the man I love and those who mean the most to me? Or, by some miracle, can I have both?

The Secret by Kristen Proby felt like coming home…. as this new series allows readers to step back into Proby’s original With Me Seattle series and bare witness to the next generation finding LOVE!

The opening lines of The Secret brought a smile to my face and kept me glued to my kindle as Olivia Williams crafts her way in the world.

And yes Olivia Williams’ lineage is so much of the WOW to this story…. Luke Williams as a Dad might be even better than Luke falling in love with Natalie in Come Away with Me! Why.. well Vaughn Barrymore is everything Luke never wanted for his kids…. he is FAMOUS!

The author did a wonderful job at developing both characters and allowing the reader to understand why a situation and be seen so differently based on who you are and what you bring to the table.

Experiencing Vaughn’s layers peel back was truly one of the best parts of this book, and I adored his support for Olivia’s career

If you love a great romance, one where you know what the hero wants … and he wants toe heroine that I highly recommend 1-clicking this book!

If you have never read Kristen Proby before this book is 1000% standalone to you it will just be a masterfully crafted world with in-depth character interaction and one very overprotective DAD!

I am so excited for more of the Single in Seattle series as readers get to continue to live in this amazing Proby world! And was THRILLED to read Stella McKenna was next in The Scandal….. because HELLO Nate as a Dad ….yes Nate from Fight With Me)
