His Royal Highness Callum Wakefield lives a carefree, luxurious life. As the King of England’s youngest son, and thus not the heir apparent, he has more freedom and less royal responsibilities. He spends his days traveling the world, indulging in the extravagance afforded by his family name. But after years of hopping from one country to the next, the place that holds the most appeal is Cunningham Falls, Montana. And the only woman on his mind is a fiery redhead with an infectious laugh.

The one who hates him.

Aspen Calhoun is the new owner of Drips & Sips. It’s taken her many years to find a place to belong, and she’s perfectly happy living a quiet life. Or she would be, if a certain prince would stop coming to town.

Aspen and Callum shared one incredible night together two years ago before he returned to his opulent life, subsequently forgetting all about her. Ego bruised and pride wounded, Aspen doesn’t know why he’s back. And she doesn’t care. She refuses to fall for his charms again.

But Callum is determined to stay in Cunningham Falls and make it up to Aspen, no matter how long it takes. Because while she was out of sight, she was most certainly not out of mind. 


Prince Callum Wakefield has already made one huge mistake with Aspen Calhoun. He had a very sexy encounter with her two years ago, but then failed to recognize her right away at their next meeting. Ouch! 

Aspen is focused on her business Drips & Sips and has convinced herself she does not have time for any man...much less a cocky Prince who forgot about her. She is smart, fiery, caring, but she also has a hidden past that has left scars.  And it is easier to be angry at and hate Callum then it is to face what they shared.

Callum is the youngest royal and has lived a much more carefree life than his older siblings, having the ability to travel and just enjoy life. In his past he was considered a reckless playboy, but he has changed in the past couple years somewhat due to his mistake with Aspen. He is charming, easy-going, and usually fairly controlled, but she makes him lose it. And on this trip to Montana with his family, he is determined to make it right...and maybe even woo her. 

Aspen is a tough cookie and closed off for a reason. Her walls will be hard to break down. But Callum is determined and sometimes the hardest things to win are the most important. 

I loved Callum and Aspen. Their chemistry was never in question. Aspen is a spitfire, but has a bruised but loving heart. And Callum did make some mistakes but tries hard to make up for them. He might just be the swooniest of these men.  But they also have other challenges due to the differences in their lives and will both have to decide if being together is worth it. 

This is a sweet, sexy, low angst, Prince falls for a commoner love story that requires time and patience. It brings back the other royals and friends from Cunningham Falls, Montana. I always love visiting this town and the wonderful people there. 
Callum Wakefield is the youngest son of the royal family. He has a reputation due to his ease with women and a different set of expectations because he is not directly in line for the throne. But he made a mistake when he returned to Montana and forgot the hot afternoon he spent with Aspen Calhoun, a mistake he desperately wants to make up for and get to know the sweet coffee shop owner more. 

Aspen has spent years making herself a home in Cunningham Falls, and though she doesn’t let many people close to her, she isn’t willing to let the handsome prince in after he forgot who she was. But now that he’s returned, he is making it difficult to avoid him.

I loved the easy way these two had between them. They had a fiery connection 2 years before, but Aspen wasn’t willing to jump down that road so quickly again. Callum was determined to get back there though, so took the slow steps Aspen needed. But a slow pace isn’t the only thing standing in the way of their happiness, as they live completely different lives. 

I loved returning to Cunningham Falls. Aspen and Callum have fantastic chemistry and even as they take it slow, the pages burn with heat. I always find these books easy to jump back into and a low angst bit of entertainment. Former Cunningham Falls characters return to support these two and the Montana town is always welcoming in its return.

“You’re not a dream, are you?”
His lips tip up in an arrogant smile. “Well, in what context are you
referring?”
Why is his accent so damn sexy? I mean, he looks like that, and he
sounds sexy, as well? Inconceivable.
“This is the most bizarre conversation I’ve ever had. And trust me
when I say I’ve had some crazy encounters. What are you doing here?”
“I told you,” he says, setting the rag on the counter and walking
around to me once more. “I want to take you to dinner. Or somewhere.
I’d like to get to know you better, Aspen.”
I lick my lips. He’s so close now, I can feel the heat of him. He
would scramble the brains of any warm-blooded woman.
But I haven’t flirted with a man in years. And I certainly haven’t
entertained the idea of dating one. Or, better yet, having sex with
one. But with Callum standing mere feet away, that’s precisely what
I’m thinking.
“You surprise me,” I admit in a soft voice.
“How’s that?”
“You cleaned those tables without batting an eye.”
“I’ve cleaned far worse, I can assure you.” I tilt my head, watching
him. I can see his pulse in his neck.
“You’re a prince.”
He narrows his eyes and moves in closer, not touching me but certainly
crowding. He smells like mint and sunshine.
“I’m just a man, Aspen.” His lips graze my cheek. “A man very taken
with you, I might add.”
I swallow hard. Holy shit. My breathing comes harder, and an ache sets
up shop in my very core.
I want him.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so attracted to a man before. Not even
Greg. No one.
And if I ponder that for too long, the guilt will likely set in.
Instead, I turn my head and brush my nose over his jawline.
I want him to touch me. I want to feel things that have been missing
from my life for years. Suddenly, I want it with this perfect
stranger.
“Aspen,” he whispers.
“Yes.”
“Tell me you don’t feel this.”
I swallow again. “I can’t.”
He growls as he plunges his hands into my hair and closes his lips
over mine in the kiss of the century. His moves are smooth and sure.
Assertive.
That’s what Callum is: confident.
But before the kiss goes any further, he backs up and stares down at
me with intense brown eyes. “I can’t do what I want to you here. All
of bloody Montana could look through those windows, and I won’t have
you caught in a scandal.”
“Office,” I reply immediately. With his hand in mine, I lead him
through to the back of the café and my personal space there. It’s not
fancy, but it’s private.
“Brilliant,” he says as he shuts the door behind him.

The first in an all new stand-alone trilogy set in Kristen Proby's Big Sky world, Enchanting Sebastian will take your breath away! 

Turning thirty-five doesn’t mean much to most men. For Sebastian Wakefield, it’s the end of life as he knows it. 

When your father is the King of England, thirty-five is the year that a marriage will be arranged, a suitable bride cementing a future you didn’t choose. The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America? 

Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay—and what will send them into a frenzy. 

Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty. 

Only love could write an enchanting new beginning—if they’ll let themselves fall.

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all new story in her bestselling Big Sky Royal series!

Princess Eleanor has had it up to her royal eyeballs. She’s surrounded by suitable men, each more rude and obnoxious than the last. None of them are worthy of her heart—not to mention her virginity. So what’s a girl to do? Flee to Montana to stay with her brother, lay low, and avoid both the media and the men, that’s what.

Liam Cunningham is the head of security in Montana for the royal family. For a man who has seen the worst of human nature in the Army, being in Cunningham Falls is a balm to his tattered soul.

Princess Eleanor, on the other hand, is a royal pain in the butt. She’s proven in the past that she’s a troublemaker. She’s also beautiful, smart, and everything good in life that he doesn’t deserve.

But when Ellie proposes the idea of Liam being her sex coach, how can he resist?
