ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 11, 2025

He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby.

I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs.

But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over.Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind.

He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache.

Pretending we were married was for my protection.
A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband.
We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future.

But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home.

Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back.
Because small towns have long memories.
And secrets don’t stay buried forever.

REVIEW:This series has me in an official choke hold! The next installment in The Timberbridge Brother; When Love Found Us, brings us back to the small town and the brothers we have all come to love and adore. As always, I recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it, but each book in the series can be read as a standalone. This is a small town, fake-marriage romance with fantastic characters and spicy scenes.

Blythe aka Henrietta is a woman on the run. From whom you ask? Her abusive husband, a man of means and wealth. She has changed her name, moves from town to town, never staying too long. At her newest stop, a town called Birchwood Springs she meets Atlas, it’s like he knows she is running, how tired she is, how she needs help but doesn’t have the courage in her to ask for it. He sees her. Atlas offers her job, something that she needs more than anything, and that is a safe space. That’s when the dam breaks and she spills her entire life story to him.

Including her secret. She’s pregnant.

Atlas is living with his own demons, he is a Timberbridge by blood, but only by half blood, and not by choice. Finding out about who he is and that he has brothers, even if they are only half brothers was a shock to his system, let alone how some of them were acting. (Ledger) The family drama is heartbreaking and hard to read in some parts, but as the relationships come to grow and mend, they are even more moving and memorable.

When Atlas meets Blythe he knows she needs help, when he learns her story, learns what is at stake and that not only her life, but her baby’s life could be in danger, he offers a solution. He proposes a fake marriage, one that after some conveniences on Blythe’s part, she agrees to. As they spend more and more time together, they slowly start to fall for each other, but neither of them act on their feelings why Blythe is still married. Together, with the help of his brothers and friends, they find a way for Blythe to divorce her husband, but still keep her safe.

This was just an enjoyable read. Atlas is a sweetheart, and when it comes to Blythe and her baby he doesn’t fool around. They are his to protect and he doesn’t care who he has to take down to do it. The plot is engaging and easy to keep up with, the romance is a slow burn, the relationship between our main leads is made so much better by that fact too. CB has a way of building such amazing worlds, and the Timberbridge family is one of my favorites. The family interactions and drama add another level of intrigue to the small town making it more interesting to read. Either way, I will forever be back for this series.
