After a long hiatus, Unexpected Love, the second installment to Unforeseen Destiny Series, is finally released! A nerdy hero and sassy heroine come together in this opposites attract romance. Although it’s part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.

I would love to say this one was fun and simple to write, BUT THAT’S NOT THE CASE. Honestly, I didn’t think Staci’s story was going to get told. After writing the first book in the series, I started on Staci’s adventure. I was excited! Thrilled. My fingers flew across the keyboard at record speed. Chapter one wrote itself. Then, before I knew it, the fourth chapter was in the books. Boom! I thought I’d have this manuscript wrapped up in record time. This was back in 2016, ya’ll.

So, what happened?

Well, Staci quit talking to me. I was getting nothing. Nada. Kamp, a character from the first book decided to have his own story. Then, those bad boys from my Bad Boys Redemption series screamed at me. They wanted their story told first.

I kept opening the manuscript and staring at it. Nothing I did would help. It wasn’t until writing the last book in my sports series that Staci came out of her shell and started talking again. She’s sassy and determined. Why she went into hiding is beyond me, but I’m glad things worked out the way they did.

Because I freaking love this story.

It’s a bit deeper than my others. There are moments that will make you laugh-out-loud, cringe, swoon, and leave you heartbroken. Staci endures a lot to get to her end goal, but her journey is so worth it.

Staci and Kyle’s love really is unexpected. I’m so excited to share this with you all!

What can you tell us about your new release, The Dating Proposal?

The Dating Proposal is a fun, fresh romance about the pitfalls and perils of the dating circuit/ Especially when they involve falling for your new business partner. Basically, the heroine is finally ready to put herself out there again, and get her groove back, but, oops, she starts to fall for the right person at the wrong time.

What’s the last book you read?

I just finished TOP SECRET, the new co-written romance by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy and it is sexy and addictive and I want them to write ALL THE BOOKS!

You’re hosting a dinner party. Which three writers are invited?

First, can I take them out to dinner instead? Second, I LOVE Nora Roberts. I also adore Christina Lauren and there are two of them, so that’s three! But why not add Laurelin Paige to the mix since she’s a great conversationalist!

Where did you write The Dating Proposal? (your couch, a coffee shop, a bar… hey – we won’t judge)

This is a great question! I wrote this book literally everywhere! I wrote it in a fit of creativity and passion and desire to give these characters the story they deserved and I did it in two weeks over the Christmas holidays. I wrote in the library one night when power went out at my house, I wrote on the flight to South Carolina, I wrote on the flight back to California, I wrote it in the hotel in Mendocino, Calif when my husband fell asleep, and I wrote it on my couch so I could finish it in time. I loved literally every second of writing this book. It made me happy.

What are you currently craving?

Chocolate chip cookies. I crave them pretty much around the clock.

What scene in The Dating Proposal was your favorite to write?

I do love the orgasmic fries scene 🙂
