New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak returns to Silver Springs
Sometimes starting over means finding everything youâve been missing...
After catching her fiancé cheatingâwith another manâusually straitlaced, workaholic scientist Ellie Fisher liberates her wild side just long enough to indulge in a passionate one-night stand with a tall, dark stranger she meets at a trendy Miami bar. Embarrassed by her recklessness, she ducks out the following morning without learning the guyâs full name, something that shouldnât have been a problem...until a pregnancy test turns positive.
Being a professional football player, Hudson King has always been cautious around women. But this one had been differentâso disinterested in his celebrity, so convincingly into him. When Ellie tracks him down, claiming sheâs carrying his baby, heâs stunned. And more than a little betrayed.
But after growing up as an orphan, heâll do anything to stay involved in his childâs life, so he urges Ellie to move to Silver Springs, where they can co-parent. Hudson has a lot of love to give, certainly enough for his child, and when their initial spark reignites, perhaps for Ellie, too...

Until You Loved Me
Brenda Novak
Welcome to Silver Springs, population 5,000! I love writing this new series, mostly because I enjoy working with wounded heroes, and the boys ranch at the edge of my fictional Southern California town (located about ninety minutes northwest of Los Angeles) supplies many of those. Hudson King, the hero of this novel, was abandoned the day he was bornâin Bel Air, of all places, one of the richest areas in the state. No one can say who left him or why, but his fortunes have changed dramatically over the years. Heâs no longer an unwanted orphan. As one of the most gifted quarterbacks in the NFL, heâs achieved what most men can only dream about. He has everything. Almost. He still craves answers, has to find the person or people who left him to die all those years ago so he can learn why. Problem is...what he finds out makes him wish heâd never solved the mystery. Good thing he has just the person to stand in his corner with scientist Ellie Fisher...

To my husband, whoâs listened and offered feedback as Iâve read every single one of the sixty novels Iâve written aloud to him. (Sometimes heâs heard them two or three times!) Thatâs what a real hero is like.

Wincing against the glare of the sun that slanted through his front windshield, the man drove slowly through Bel Air, California. There was so much money in this area. He couldnât even afford to pay the rent on his dumpy one-bedroom apartment and yet these people owned estates that sprawled over half an acre. Didnât seem fair.
