From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new small-town series set in Montana, starting with WILD FOR YOU, an Age-Gap, Single Dad, Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine romance!

Remington Wild is a single dad of two adorable kids, and as the oldest son of the Wild family, has recently taken over the Wild River Ranch from his father. Life is crazy, and he’s finally willing to admit that he needs help, and the sooner the better. He has no idea that the beautiful woman he sees every day at Bitterroot Valley Coffee Co. is the woman who would show up for the job.

Erin Montgomery couldn’t get out of Seattle fast enough. It’s not that she doesn’t love her big, loud family, but living in the big city just wasn’t for her. The minute she stepped foot in Bitterroot Valley, she knew she was home. She loves the slower pace, the friendly people, and her job at the coffee shop. Even the smoking hot grumpy guy who stops in every afternoon can’t put a damper on how much she loves small town life!

Thanks to car trouble, and her stubbornness when it comes to using her trust fund, Erin needs a second job and applies for the position of a part-time nanny. She’s surprised to find that it’s Grumpy himself who answers the door at the ranch, but Erin quickly learns that she loves his kids and the ranch, and it’s a no-brainer to take the job. She just has to remind herself to resist the sexy rancher and keep it strictly professional.

Remington is attracted to his younger nanny, and finds himself falling headfirst in love with her. He and his kids have never been happier, and he knows she is the perfect addition to their family for as long as she’s willing to stay. Hopefully forever.

But when secrets are exposed, one of which endangers his children, will their love survive? Or will it tear them apart?



Always wanting to have the simple life and an escape Erin moves to a small town in Montana to have a job at a local café. Remington is a single dad of two running the family ranch. With how things are with the kid’s mom he has had to raise them without their mom. Remington finds that he is in need of a nanny and his sister works with Erin and thinks that she is perfect for the job. He’s a grump and she is the sunshine that he needs on his cloudy days. With is an age gap which maybe off-putting to some, their age gap you don’t realize that there is one aside from a few parts you did that aside, they had a great connection and Erin was able to bond with Remington’s kids right away. This was a great story with suspense, the past coming back, love, chemistry and everything in between.

Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she’s been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.

Loved Enough is a stand alone novel but for a better reading experience the author invites you to read the books in order.



Every time that I read a book by Kelly, I get completely wrapped up in everything that is going on. Lily has been best friends with Ben since forever and has had feelings for him. Years later she finds out that Ben is getting married and slowly starts to bug her but at the same time comes to the realization that it was just a friendship, not anything more. When she sees the handsome Maverick who works for her dad, she feels something in her belly that she hasn’t felt before. Maverick had a crush on Lily when he started working at the ranch, working for her dad their relationship couldn’t work right? Maybe just one dance?

He’s a grumpy single dad. She’s the one who got away. They haven’t seen one another in years, and now they’re stuck in a hotel room together. And there’s only one bed.

I’ve loved her from the first moment I saw her.
And I’ve loved her every day since.
Whether we’re together or we’re apart—that hasn’t changed.
Which is saying a lot considering I don’t like most people.
But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.
Until she’s gone.
And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.

**This is book 5 in the Cottonwood Cove Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**



Oh I have been waiting for Cage’s story since getting to meet him in the previous books. Cage main focus at the moment is his daughter and being a dad and owning his own vet practice so he hasn’t been interested in getting back into the dating game. Presley and Cage meet when their fifteen when Cage is hired at her family’s ranch. Years later Presley is a successful lawyer going through a divorce and needing to return home to Cottonwood for a family matter. Seeing these two get to know one another again and have there second chance at love was swoon worthy, crying, and laughing moments that all led to their HEA that I absolutely loved.
