About
EASY WITH YOU:
Nothing has ever come easy for Lila Bailey. She’s fought for
every good thing in her life during every day of her thirty-one years. Aside
from that one night with an impossible to deny stranger a year ago, Lila is the
epitome of responsible.
Steadfast. Strong.
She’s pulled herself out of the train wreck of her
childhood, proud to be a professor at Tulane University and laying down roots
in a city she’s grown to love. But when some of her female students are
viciously murdered, Lila’s shaken to the core and unsure of whom she can trust
in New Orleans. When the police detective assigned to the murder case comes to
investigate, she’s even more surprised to find herself staring into the eyes of
the man that made her toes curl last year.
In an attempt to move on from the tragic loss of his wife,
Asher Smith moved his daughter and himself to a new city, ready for a fresh
start. A damn fine police lieutenant, but new to the New Orleans force, Asher
has a lot to prove to his colleagues and himself.
With a murderer terrorizing the Tulane University campus,
Asher finds himself toe-to-toe with the one woman that haunts his dreams. His
hands, his lips, his body know her as intimately as he’s ever known anyone. As
he learns her mind and heart as well, Asher wants nothing more than to keep her
safe, in his bed, and in his and his daughter’s lives for the long haul.
But when Lila becomes the target, can Asher save her in
time, or will he lose another woman he loves?

“It’s been so long since I had
sex, I don’t even know if my vagina still works,” I admit in a whisper, making
Kate laugh.
“Trust me, it works.”
“How do you know?”
She simply continues to laugh.
“Good morning, ladies.”
Our heads both whip up at the
deep, sexy voice, and I’m suddenly staring at a very sweaty, very half-naked,
Asher.
Oh
Jesus.
“Good morning,” Kate says beside
me, but I’m not paying attention to the words they’re saying. My mouth goes dry
at the sight of Asher’s naked torso. He’s wearing running shorts, with his
shirt tucked into the waist at his hip. He has earbuds in his ears, leading to
his phone in his pocket.
He’s panting from his run, and
sweat is running down his forehead, his cheek.
His fucking amazing chest.
One drop of sweat slowly makes
its way down his sternum to his chiseled abs, and it takes everything in me to
not lean over and lick it off.
Down,
girl.
“Lila?”
“What?”
Asher’s eyes are laughing as he
props his hands on his hips, watching me. “How are you?”
“Oh, I’m fine.”
Kate snickers beside me, earning
a kick to the shin from me.
“You look amazing,” he replies
and offers me that half-smile. The one that promises all kinds of amazing
naughtiness and has kept me up many a night over the past nine months.
“Thank you,” I murmur. Why am I
so shy with him now? That night at the bar, I was confident. I knew exactly
what I wanted, and that was him. I wasn’t shy. I didn’t hesitate.
And now I feel tongue-tied and hot.
Probably because now I know what
he’s capable of.
A Message from Kristen Proby:
Dear readers,
As you know, the With Me In Seattle series came to a close
earlier this month with the eighth and final installment, FOREVER WITH ME. I've
been steadfast in my decision that there would be no further stories from the
series, no spin-offs, nothing more. In my mind, it was complete.
And I still feel that the Montgomery/Williams families are
complete, and I maintain that I'm happy with their happy-ever-afters.
But, I've also heard you when you've said that Asher, Matt
Montgomery's partner in TIED WITH ME, deserves to have a happily ever after for
himself and his daughter Casey. So, when the lovely ladies from 1001 Dark
Nights asked me to participate in their wonderful project, I thought long
and hard about whose story it should be about. Seattle is finished, and I've
moved on to New Orleans for the new Boudreaux Series... And then it occurred to
me: why not do both, and offer a companion novella to each of the series?
And so, because you, the reader, has been so insistent that
you want to see Asher and Casey find their perfect person, I'm excited to
introduce you to EASY WITH YOU. I think you're going to love Asher and Lila's
love story this spring...
Happy Reading,
Kristen Proby
