ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.

After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.

Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.

When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.

Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.

To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.

I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.

Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nora and Beck) SOMETHING UNEXPECTED follows the building romance and relationship between businessman Beckham ‘Beck’ Cross and photographer Eleanor ‘Nora’ Sutton. An accidental meeting at a bar introduces our couple to one another but Beck did not make a great impression, and Nora Sutton went on her way.

Never expecting to come face to face with the woman from the bar, Beck will discover his grandmother’s friend is the woman currently starring in his fantasies and dreams. Enter photographer Eleanor ‘Nora’ Sutton, and the woman with whom Beckham will fallen love but Louise’s health is deteriorating fast, and Beck struggles with letting go of the woman who raised him and his brother.

What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Beck and Nora, and the potential fall-out as Nora’s secrets and lies threaten to break Beckham’s heart.

Nora Sutton has her secrets but she refuses to cross the line from friendship to love. Hoping to complete Louise’s bucket list of travels, Nora sets out with Beckham’s grandmother but Louise’s health is too frail to continue.

The relationship between Nora and Beck begins as an accidental meeting but Beck has no idea as to Nora’s relationship with his grandmother, a relationship that is both purgative and cathartic for our story line heroine. As Nora and Beck’s relationship continues to build, Nora pushes Beck out of her life, keeping secret the true nature of her need to journey alone. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and provocative.

SOMETHING UNEXPECTED is a twisted story of secrets and lies, struggle and battles, acceptance and death, understanding and love. The premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is seductive ; the characters are desperate and determined.
