Jenna Hull owns and manages vacation rentals in her hometown of Cunningham Falls, Montana. Sheโs just completed the construction of her most exhausting project, the one sheโs put her heart and soul into. The inviting, opulent Snow Wolf Cottages are the first ski in/ski out tree houses in the world.
Her biggest dream is about to come true, and she canโt let anything distract her.
Christian Wolfe is Hollywoodโs it actor. If the magazines are to be believed, heโs the sexiest man on earth. Heโs preparing for the biggest movie role of his life, and his agent has booked him in a hot new ski lodge in Montana, tucked away from crazy fans. He canโt wait for the break.
But what Christian isnโt prepared for is Jenna. With a face that could easily co-star with him in a movie and her ambition to put her stamp on Cunningham Falls, he canโt stay away. But even more intriguing than her beauty is the fact that sheโs not at all impressed with his celebrity status, only turned on by the man behind the fame.
The love theyโve found is perfectโbut time is running out before real life intrudes. Can they survive with both their dreamsโand heartsโintact?
Kristen Proby takes us back to small-town Montana with a sexy, standalone romance between local business owner Jenna Hull and Hollywood golden boy Christian Wolfe. The two meet when Christian’s agent books him in the newest Montana ski lodgeโJenna’s most beloved project. But even as things heat up between them, real life threatens to shatter what’s only just begun.
I’m so thrilled to share an exclusive sneak peek at KISSING JENNA, which is out July 10th.
Iโve just stepped out and am drying off when I hear the doorbell ring.
โFuck.โ
Itโs either a fan who followed me here or Jenna.
It better be Jenna.
I sling a towel around my waist and walk down the stairs to the door, look through the peephole, and smile when I see Jennaโs sweet face staring back at me.
Cross-eyed.
I open the door and watch her jaw drop as her gaze automatically travels from my feet to my eyes. She swallows hard, then takes a sip out of the coffee mug in her hand.
I wish I was Felicia. Sheโs always going somewhere.
I smirk at the funny mug and step back, ushering her in so I can shut the door and cut off the cold air.
โSorry for interrupting,โ she says as she follows me to the kitchen. โI was about to go to town and thought Iโd see if you were around and wanted to join me.โ
โWhatโs up?โ
โWell, you canโt just be a hermit up here, no matter how pretty it is.โ She sits on a stool and sets her mug on the countertop. โI have a couple of errands to run, and I thought we could get a coffee at Drips & Sips. Itโs better than Starbucks.โ
โThatโs a bold claim,โ I reply and soak her in. Sheโs fucking beautiful, and Iโve seen my fair share of gorgeous women. Touched them. Kissed them.
Made it look like I was fucking them.
Hell, I did fuck some of them.
But I donโt know if Iโve ever seen anyone quite like Jenna. Maybe itโs the gorgeous face, sexy figure, and long, blond hair mixed with the confidence. That doesnโt happen often.
โWhy didnโt you tell your friend that Iโm here?โ I ask and watch her frown.
โBecause that would be an invasion of privacy.โ
โSo?โ
Her brows climb into her hairline, and then she sips her coffee, watching me. โWell, Iโm not a jerk. I canโt just advertise whoโs staying at my place. Thatโs not cool. Also, itโs not my business to tell my friends that youโre here.โ
โI met Jacob today,โ I inform her and lean on the counter. โHe told me youโre a good friend of his wife.โ
โGrace and I are good friends, yes,โ she says with a nod. โAnd I know that sheโs a fan of yours.โ
โBut you didnโt call her.โ
โChristian.โ She takes a deep breath. โLike I said, itโs not my place. If you told me it was okay, I would probably tell her, but I wouldnโt volunteer the information.
โMy brother is Max Hull. You may not know himโโ
โThe software genius?โ
She nods.
โThe one who sold his company to Google for like fifteen billion dollars?โ
โI think it was just one billion,โ she says with a laugh. โBut, yeah, thatโs the one. He isnโt famous in the same way you are, but he has his challenges with it, too. And I am fiercely protective of him. I protect all of my clients in the same way. Youโre my client. And maybe my friend, but weโll see.โ
โI like you,โ I admit and then narrow my eyes. โTrust isnโt easy.โ
โNot for most of us,โ she says with a shrug. โSo, you donโt have to join me today. You can tell me to go mind my own business, and you wonโt see me again until itโs time to check out of here.โ
โI like you,โ I repeat, surprised to find that itโs completely true. What I donโt say is that Iโm so fucking attracted to her, it may not be a good idea to hang out together because I want to bend her over this counter, and Iโm only here for a month.
But along with that, I enjoy her company. Her quick wit.
And sheโs not an asshole.
โLet me get dressed, and Iโll go with you.โ
โYeah, donโt wear the towel,โ she says, rubbing her chin as if sheโs thinking it over. โFamous or not, youโd draw a lot of attention, and I forgot to take a security class to keep the women off of you.โ
I smirk and shake my head, walking to the stairs.
โYouโre a smartass, Jenna.โ
โYouโre welcome.โ
