From New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster comes an all new slow-burn romance about trust, healing, and finding love when you least expect it.
What happens when the handsome small-town hero steps in to help the city girl?
When Glory McCallahan’s cousin moved to Hoker, Kentucky, she felt like she’d lost her best friend. Then, Callie fell in love. To help with wedding arrangements, Glory joins her, but after, the plan is to get back to her perfectly ordered life. Glory has always played it safe, keeping her polished smile in place and her heart on lockdown. No way is she going to let the rugged, too-handsome younger brother of her cousin’s new husband mess with her plans. No matter how infuriating, irreverent, and impossible to ignore Kam may be.
Kam Norwood sees past Glory’s flawless surface, and when he notices she’s being accosted by a wedding guest, he gallantly steps in. What starts as a pretend rescue turns into a night of unexpected sparks. Kam’s not afraid of Glory’s sharp edges—or her secrets. So when the rejected guest turns out to be Glory’s angry ex and things escalate, Kam’s protective instincts kick in big-time.
Turns out, the sizzling attraction may be the one thing that can keep them both safe.

When Kam Norwood notices that Glory is being bothered by a fellow wedding guest he immediately feels the need to step in and save her... but his innocent gesture turns into something more, something completely unexpected. Something that has him wanting to know everything about her...
When I First Met You is a beautifully penned love story about two people who weren't really looking for love, but it found them anyway. The instant they meet there is an undeniable spark, one that keeps drawing them back to one another. But it's easy to see that Glory is very guarded, and Kam wants to know why...who could hurt such a wonderful person? He wants to fix all her hurts and always be the guy that steps in and saves her... question is will she let him?
I loved watching this one unfold, these two wounded souls had a lot of healing ahead of them, but together they found the peace they needed and a love they never knew was possible. It did my heart so good to see them find their happily ever after, it was a heartfelt and captivating journey I won't soon forget. Highly recommend!!
