📖 The Disc Jocks and Ember Falls posse are back and I’m here for it! Miles meets Penny, a new single mom in town, and immediately knows he wants her. Fortunately for him, he’s roped into coaching the kids’ summer hockey camp with her son Kai and knows where she works lol. I absolutely love how Miles is so persistent in the most adorable way. He is consistent, doting, and patient. He is also incredibly protective and has the skill set to go with it. Watching Penny gain confidence and start to trust Miles with not only her heart but her secrets was such a great journey! This book really took me back to the Salvation Series days, not only because we got cameos from some of our originals, but also just the feeling of this book. Corinne writes the absolute best military men, and Miles is up there with some of my favorites of her of heroes. Absolute banger!!

🎧 I am thrilled that Corinne is doing duet audio! I have been listening to her audiobooks since 2015–fun fact: the first audiobook I ever listened to was one of hers! 
Angelina draws you in with a voice that is beautifully rich and raw. Her deeper, husky tone carries a sultry warmth that feels lived-in—like the voice of someone who has seen both heartache and hope. It’s the perfect match for her portrayal of a resilient single mom with a tough past. 
Jason brings to life the rugged, protective teacher and former Marine with a depth and authenticity that grips you from the first chapter. His voice is magnetic, commanding when needed, but with a warmth that makes you feel safe—just like the hero he portrays.
