Not What I Expected

Are humans meant to mate for life?



After four kids and an unfortunate but fateful end to her twenty-two-year marriage, Elsie Smith meets the new guy in town.



Kael Hendricks is … a little younger, a lot sexy, and too confident for his own good. He also doesn’t believe in marriage and all that goes with it.



And …



He’s just opened a new business that threatens the livelihood of Elsie’s family’s store—just in time for the holidays.



The problem?



There’s an undeniable attraction that leads to out of control situations, a loss of inhibitions, and a lot of small town gossip.



As Elsie tries to redefine herself and convince her family she isn’t having a midlife crisis, she’s forced to answer the biggest question of all …



Can she love an enemy who will never surrender?
