Unexpected Love

She went looking for paint. She never expected to question her entire life.

At forty, Elizabeth has a comfortable home, financial security, and eight years with Daniel—a dependable man she still loves. But beneath their familiar routines and weekends at the lake, she feels increasingly invisible. When she decides to restore an old house, she hopes to reclaim something of her own.

Then a chance encounter at a hardware store introduces her to Adam.

What begins with advice about paint becomes lingering conversations, secret messages, and an attraction Elizabeth can no longer dismiss. Adam listens. He notices. He makes her feel wanted in ways she thought she had stopped needing. But every moment she shares with him comes at a cost to the life waiting for her at home.

Torn between loyalty, desire, and the fear of starting over, Elizabeth must confront what she truly wants—and what pursuing it could cost all three of them.

Unexpected Love, Book One is an intimate contemporary romance about temptation, the weight of shared history, and the difficult choices that follow when love arrives at the wrong time.
