A man whose lifestyle is so different
from her own…
Nic Dalton’s cupcake bakery is
thriving. She serves both rock stars and locals alike, content with her growing
business. But one adventurous night out with her best friend, Bailey, turns her
life upside down. She meets a handsome stranger who makes her skin sizzle and
her heart race. Their one night together is explosive and unexpected, but when
he has to suddenly leave without taking her phone number, Nic resigns herself
to never seeing him again.
…What will it take to trust and submit
to his every desire?
Matt Montgomery is one of Seattle’s
finest. He works hard, loves and protects his family fiercely, and is loyal
almost to a fault.
And he has a penchant for bondage.
Matt enjoys the way a woman looks
wrapped up in his ropes, and makes no apologies for his preferences. When he
meets Nic at a fetish festival, the small, beautiful woman catches his eye,
drawing him to her. His one night with her was everything he’s ever looked for
in a partner, but is cut short because of a family emergency. Even before he
sees her again weeks later, he knows he’ll never get her out of his system.
And he’ll do whatever it takes to make
her his.
“Give
in to this, Nic. Let me prove to you that I will be one of the best decisions
you ever make.” –Matt Montgomery
Character Interview
Nadine here! I am beyond excited. I’m
happily awaiting Nic Dalton, the heroine from Kristen Proby’s latest
installment in the With Me in Seattle series, Tied With Me. Oh I see her now!
Hi Nic! Thank you so much for meeting me at Vintage. I know your Sundays
are usually Bailey time, so I promise to be quick.
Thanks for inviting me! It's a
pleasure to meet you.
Tied With Me is yours and Matt’s story. This was a spicy read. I loved
how you were open to trying something so out of your norm. What made you go for
it? What was it about that first encounter with Matt at the festival that
compelled you to let him demonstrate his ropes?
The man is sexy as all get-out for
starters. But more than that there's something about him that just makes me
WANT to please him, to do as he asks. It's really difficult to explain.
The end of your first night of passion with him, while satisfying, didn’t
exactly end well. I mean the guy ran out on you without so much as getting your
number. Did you ever expect to see him again? What was the first thought that
entered your mind when you saw Matt at Brynna’s wedding?
No, I never expected to run into Matt
again. When I first saw him at the wedding, I think my first thought was,
"holy shit!"
I love how he calls you little one. I swear when he called you on the
phone after the wedding and said it, chills ran down my arms. Do you have a
special nickname for him?
Isn't he sweet? Hmm... I don't really
have a specific nickname for Matt. Well, not one that he'll let me share.
You’ve been immersed in Matt’s brand of kink for a while now. That man
certainly makes use of some interesting tying implements. Which has been your
favorite? Anything new we haven’t seen?
Let me think... favorite... Well,
it's always fun when he uses the apron. There are all kinds of uses for that!
Not long ago he made use of my favorite scarf. I think I'll be "cold"
more often.
So,
what’s next for you guys? Are you ready for him to pop the big question yet or
does that make you nervous?
It's still pretty early for us. I'm
content knowing that we're committed to each other and plan to be together for
a very, very long time.
Alright, alright that’s it for the tough questions. Thank you so much for
meeting me here. Before I go though, just one more question. You had
Adam-freaking-Levine in your cupcake shop. How in the hell did you not kidnap
that man and stow him away upstairs? *sigh* Seriously, though what was that
encounter like?
Most of us
were pretty much speechless during that
encounter. But Adam's soooo nice, and just as good looking in person as he is
on TV. Now that Leo Nash? He's in almost daily, and I must admit, I have a bit
of a crush on that one. Hello, hot rock star. *winks*
Yeah who wouldn’t have a crush on hot rocker Leo Nash?! Again, thank you,
Nic, for taking the time to meet me today.

feeding Natalie’s wounded soul.
Luke Williams just wants the world to give him a break, so seeing yet another
camera aimed at his face has him ready to pounce on the beauty behind the lens.
When he finds out she has no idea who he is, he's intrigued and more than a
little tempted by her. Natalie has a body made for sex, a sassy mouth and Luke
can’t get enough of her, but he’s not ready to tell her who he really his.
Natalie is a no nonsense girl who doesn’t do well with lies and secrets. What
will happen to this new relationship when she discovers what Luke’s hiding?
Isaac and Stacy Montgomery have been
married for ten years. They have a beautiful new baby girl, Isaac’s
construction business is thriving, and Stacy enjoys being a stay at home mom,
reviewing sexy romance novels for her blog. With a very large extended family,
and the many privileges they enjoy, Stacy will be the first to admit that they
are blessed beyond measure.
When suspicious phone calls and text messages begin, Stacy questions Isaac’s
faithfulness for the first time in their marriage. She knows that a new baby
brings changes into a relationship, but has the stress of parenthood sent Isaac
into another woman’s arms, threatening to destroy their marriage?
This With Me In Seattle novella shows us a glimpse into Jules’ brother, Isaac,
and his wife Stacy’s lives, introduces us to some new characters, and reminds
us of what it means to reconnect with the person you love the most, even if
they never left in the first place.
Jules Montgomery is too busy and
content with her life to worry about a man, especially one Nate McKenna. If
growing up with four brothers has taught her anything, she knows to stay away
from sexy men with tattoos and motorcycles. That goes double if he's your boss.
During the one incredible night they shared, he violated the no fraternization
policy...among other things, and it won't happen again. Jules won't risk her
career for mind-blowing sex, no matter how much her body and her damn heart
keep arguing with her.
Nate McKenna could give a shit about the no fraternizing policy. He wants Jules
and he'll have her. The rules could bend around them, or be damned. He's not a
man to be taken lightly, and Jules Montgomery is about to find out just how he
responds to being pushed aside after the best night of sex he's ever had. She
can fight all she wants, but he'll have her in his bed in the end.
Will Montgomery is a successful
professional football player and seemingly has it all. He’s not used to being
told no, and certainly doesn’t take no for an answer. So when he turns his
charms on his sister’s sexy rocker-chick friend Meg, he’s not only turned down,
but met with open hostility, piquing his curiosity and libido. He’s determined
to show her that he’s not the arrogant jock she thinks he is, and to get her
into his bed.
Megan McBride is not impressed with Will Montgomery, his fat contract, fancy
car, or his arrogant public persona. She doesn’t have time for a relationship,
and if she’s learned anything in life, it’s that loving means losing, so she
guards her heart ferociously. But she can’t deny the overwhelming attraction to
the sexy, tattooed athlete, and when Will starts breaking down her defenses and
grabs hold of her heart, will she be able to admit her feelings for him, or
will her troubled past cause her to lose the first man she’s ever truly loved?
Front Man Leo Nash from the
world-famous rock band, Nash, is the last person on earth Samantha Williams
would trust. She's already learned about loving a celebrity the hard way and
isn't signing up for another lesson.
Every time Sam gives Leo attitude, he wants to knock that chip off her fragile
little shoulder. What the hell did he ever do to her, anyway? He's not used to
women treating him like he's poisonous, and he isn't about to let her run away
every time he gets close. He's had enough of people running away to last him a
lifetime...when this one runs, he gives chase. But, catching Sam isn't as hard
as he thought.
The sexual attraction between them is so thick, Sam can practically hold it in
her hand. There's no way she can deny herself the promise of pleasure being
with Leo would provide.
But, pleasure always comes with pain and when secrets are revealed and trust is
challenged, who will run and who will chase?
Keeping others safe is what Caleb
Montgomery does. He's never had a problem taking on an assignment, whether it
was during his dangerous SEAL days or his most recent job of training war
mercenaries. But being assigned to keep Brynna Vincent and her adorable
daughters, Maddie and Josie, safe from an unknown threat has thrown Caleb off
his axis. Hot for the tall brunette since she came back to town more than a
year ago, being close to her day in and day out is cracking Caleb's resolve to
keep his hands off her gorgeous body and his head in the mission.
Brynna is sick and tired of being
afraid. All she wants is a normal, quiet life for her and her precious girls.
Just as she's settling into her new home in Seattle and feeling safe again,
Caleb shows up on her doorstep insisting the danger is as high as ever. But
whether she needs to be sheltered from the threat in her past, or from the
intense emotions she feels for the sexy, protective man sleeping in her home,
remains to be seen. What will happen if Brynna and her girls fall in love with
a man so broken he may not be able to protect them from the danger that
threatens, much less himself?

Josh King is an expert at running his
family’s multi-million dollar ranch in Montana. (And all that outside manual

footed as he is when it comes to the ranch, Josh doesn’t know anything about
how to deal with an adolescent boy—so when his twelve-year-old nephew, Seth, is
dropped off on his doorstep, looking scared and acting surly as hell, Josh
knows he needs help in straightening him out.

a little bit hotter. Cara tries to focus all her attention on tutoring Seth,
but Josh proves to be a delicious distraction, while Josh’s memories of the shy
girl he once teased in high school are nothing like the beautiful woman he’s
facing now. Can he persuade her that there’s more between them than a summer
fling?
