The Start of Something Good cover

An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…

It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.

But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

“Probst serves up a mélange of love, loss, and loopy livestock in this thoroughly charming contemporary…Pure romance comfort food. Probst’s sexy and sweet protagonists complement this well-paced tale.” Publishers Weekly

“He’s all country and she’s all city, and from the beginning, they rub each other the wrong way. BUT there is no denying the attraction there…Together, they uncover emotional wounds they didn’t even know they had, while continuing to add a little bit of enemies-to-lovers angst. I couldn’t help but fall for this pair.” USA Today’s Happy Ever After
