About the book: Release Date November 22, 2013

Trip is the last of the Coulter sons to find love. He’s smart…he’s handsome…he’s a shadow op. He’s a man with all the skills a spy needs. But when it comes to relationships, he misses the target. Jane is sweet…she’s beautiful…she’s a cleaning lady. She’s a woman with all the skills a lady needs to sweep a man’s heart right into her hands. She may be wanted for murder, but she has her sights set on Trip. Trip sees her every day, but he never really sees her at all until fate and his bitchy girlfriend bring them together. Nothing about Olivia is average. Not her looks, her body, nor her obnoxiousness. When Olivia turns her full fury on Jane, it’s Trip to the emotional rescue. For him, it’s an opportunity to make amends. For Jane, it’s an opportunity to make dreams come true…to make reality as it was intended to be.

Review:

Wow………I’ve been waiting a long time for Trip’s book, and it’s not at all what I thought it would be. It was that and so much more! Jane is such a sweet, albeit a little naïve, character. When she is belittled and humiliated by Olivia, she basically runs from the apartment. She has no idea what Trip sees in Olivia. Jane has been enthralled with Trip for a long time and dreams that one day he’ll see her as she sees him. Little did she know that when he came to find her and apologize for Olivia’s behavior, that things between them were going to change big time. He’s finished with Olivia and wants to get to know Jane better.

Trip has to leave town for his new job, a new job that his family doesn’t really know a lot about, so he asks Jane if she’ll dog sit his new puppy while he was gone. Of course, she jumps at the chance. While Trip is out of town, they email frequently, quietly getting to know each other better, and then the emails stop. Jane doesn’t quite know what to make of that, but finally Trip shows back up and things get rolling. As they begin to date and get to know each other even more, Jane knows that she can never be with Trip forever, as she’s hiding a secret. A big one. She’s the daughter of a prominent Russian, who was killed over some shady business transactions. And, she’s wanted for the murder of man who killed her father. She and a friend fled to the U.S. with new identities, trying to stay one step ahead of the law…..If only Jane had known the reality of said steps, her fate intended may have been more clear…….

What a great story Elizabeth Seckman has written. You will absolutely fall in love with Trip. He’s kind, he’s sexy and he’s a spy! As the story unfolds, there are more twists and turns than I would have ever imagined. When Jane’s past finally catches up with her, holy.crap. There is a huge reveal that I totally didn’t see coming and it leaves Jane, and Trip, reeling. Fate Intended is a story of retribution, love, and forgiveness. You will absolutely fall in love with the characters in this book. Well done, Elizabeth Seckman, very well done.
