UNEXPECTED
THINGS
By
Deborah Blumenthal
Romance? Here’s what it isn’t, at least for me. A
dozen roses on Valentine’s Day. The
clichéd five pound box of Godiva chocolates.
No,
it’s the unexpected things. When
something smashed into my wonderful umbrella stand from Deruta, Italy one day,
I thought I’d have to part with it.
Instead, my husband painstakingly repaired it, gluing it back together,
piece-by-piece. I loved him for
that. Now that’s romantic!♥

BOOK SUMMARY: After Jillian
Shayne, fitness editor of Savvy Woman, accidentally spills a cosmopolitan into
the lap of a party crasher at her company’s annual Christmas party, nothing in
her life will be the same. Connor McCain seems to lack an impressive resume,
but he makes up for it in sexual heat. Only the more she gets to know Connor,
the more mysterious he becomes. When circumstances in their relationship take a
startling turn, Jillian decides it’s time to leave Connor and her old life
behind.
The only question is how to start over?
Reminiscing on how her electrifying romance with Connor began, Jillian is determined to bring romance to couples all over Manhattan. Along with her best friend Tara, a high-powered real estate agent, they introduce their enticing business, “Romance in a Box” on Valentine’s Day, bringing with it hard won success for Jillian and some romantic surprises of her own along the way.
