From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes THE STAND-IN, the newest novel in her beloved Single in Seattle series, featuring Drew Montgomery!

I don’t like my new boss. Not at all.

London Ambrose is a spoiled billionaire’s daughter. And now she’s the new co-owner of the Seattlefootball team,but that doesn’t mean that she knows diddly squat about football.

There’s nothing I hate more than having someone micromanaging me, shadowing my every move, and giving me their two cents on Every. Little. Thing. as I coach MY defensive line.

I don’t care about new team jerseys and branding or answering her million and one questions about how I do my job. But, I can’t help but come to her defense when an old flame shows up and starts harassing her. I’m a Montgomery. We don’t let anyone mess with women.

Now, I’m suddenly in a fake relationship, pretending to date the gorgeous billionaire and learning so many surprising things about this captivating woman that I just can’t seem to stay away from her.

When the lines between our fake relationship and real relationship blur, and my initial distaste for her turns into desire, I find myself coaching the most important game of my life - do I let my guard down or do I let London Ambrose walk away forever?

The Stand-In was a book that brought me so much JOY as I devoured it during a plane ride aka my favorite place to read!

London Ambrose the new partial owner of an NHL team and assistant Coach Drew Montgomery go from tolerating each other in the workplace to being drawn to each other after a fake date has both opening up just enough to allow the other to see them.

From the moment we meet Drew, even when he is grumpy in the workplace he is so his father’s son I found myself smiling almost the whole read!

I adored how Drew quickly realizes he wants London and that he will go whatever it takes you have her in his life!

The use of London’s father developed this story  in so many ways and also allowed Drew to shine!

“Old Caleb” might be one of the best things I have read in some time but I can’t tell you what it means…. because SPOILER

The happy this family finds is so perfect for them!

This book will leave you so excited for Erin Montgomery’s story in Wild for You…. why? well, I am not telling, I will just say it was well done and the reactions of the others involved fit perfectly with their character.

oh and if you want to understand what I mean when I say Drew is his father’s son make sure to read Safe with Me (one of my favorite Proby reads)

and.. if you want even more Proby to look forward to we are getting Liam Montgomery’s story, a second chance romance in The Soulmate!
