Considering Kate

A ballerina’s dream. A contractor's undoing. A love worth coming home for.

‘The most successful novelist on Planet Earth.’ Washington Post

‘A storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent.’ Publisher’s Weekly

The final book in the Stanislaski family saga by New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

At twenty-five, former ballerina Kate Kimball has lived a life most people only dream of – performing at the Bolshoi, dancing for queens, taking her final bow at the White House. And now she's walking away from all of it. Not in defeat, but in pursuit of something quieter and more her own: a dance school in her hometown, housed in the beautiful, crumbling historic building she has loved since childhood.

Kate did not come home to fall in love.

Sharp-jawed and steady-handed, Brody O'Connell has been quietly rebuilding his life around his six-year-old son Jack since losing his wife. He has good reasons to keep the world at a careful distance. He just didn't account for the moment Kate Kimball walks into his life and dazzles him before he has a chance to think straight.

As they work side by side on the renovation, the walls Brody has spent years carefully constructing around his heart begin to crumble. He might want more than he's willing to admit. But wanting something and believing you deserve it are entirely different things.

Kate Kimball did not spend twenty years in ballet shoes to tiptoe around what she wants. And what she wants is the man, the boy, the half-finished farmhouse and all the beautiful chaos that comes with them.

Heartfelt, uplifting, and brimming with small-town charm, Considering Kate is the love story you won’t want to end.
