“My love affair with a fast car & how it inspired my debut romance novel, UNEXPECTED”

Atlanta, GA is the setting for my debut novel, UNEXPECTED, set to release on 12-12-16. If you’ve ever been to HOT-lanta, you know it can get pretty steamy!
​
The idea for this story came to me in a very peculiar way. Three years ago I was working for corporate America in a shiny high rise in a wealthy area of Atlanta known as “Buckhead.” I was going through a rough transition in my life trying to figure things out and my six mile commute to work took me forty-five minutes in horrendous bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Fun times.

I’m a very timely person and there was a two week period where I would pass a certain “on ramp” every morning around the same time a black Porsche would whiz by. I LOVE fast cars, so of course, I noticed. It happened every morning for two straight weeks – same time, same black Porsche.

After the third or fourth day, I started anticipating this car passing me, ogling at the beauty of it. I was driving a thirteen year old white mini-van at the time – of course I ogled! I actually started to look forward to my commute and every morning, when this fantastic car would pass, I would often wonder who was behind the tinted windows. I started to day dream about who the driver was, what kind of job, house, family they had. Before you know it, I had a complete story in my head that eventually turned into my debut novel, UNEXPECTED.

Alas, my two week love affair with the black Porsche came to an end and I never saw that particular car again. When I do see a Porsche on the road, I smile and remember the brief encounter that inspired me all those mornings long ago.

Now let’s get to some introductions….

I can’t wait for you to meet William Prescott Harrington, III – Atlanta’s very own millionaire bachelor. He’s tall, dark, handsome and a force to be reckoned with in the world-wide real estate market.  Devoted to his family, his youthful dreams are set aside in his early twenties because of the unexpected death of his father. As the only son and heir to the family business and fortune, he accepts his responsibilities in life which include a rather nice side effect of extreme wealth and privilege.

Josephine Davis is a feisty, freelance accountant determined to move forward with her life after being left at the altar on her wedding day. Her tumultuous relationship with her ex-fiancé is finally over and she’s trying to move on in the fast lane of the city and make it on her own.   She is devoted to her elderly mother and younger sister, never knowing her father who walked out on them when she was only four years old.

Two star crossed lovers from opposite sides of the tracks meet unexpectedly on a hot September day along a busy Atlanta highway. Driving a sleek, black Porsche, Will accidentally cuts Josie off causing her to swerve and hit a giant pothole. He stops to help her change a flat tire and their attraction is immediate.
 
 
Excerpt from UNEXPECTED:
 He left the flat tire on the pavement and grabbed the spare out of the back, bouncing it to the empty wheel well. He got it on in no time and she held the rim full of nuts for him as he carefully tightened each one back on the tire, flexing his upper body magnificently.

“That didn’t take long now, did it?” He grinned at her again, pushing back the wave on his forehead smearing more black residue on his handsome face. He slowly cranked the jack back down to where the tire was sitting perfectly on the pavement.

“Gosh, that’s a lot of work. I appreciate you coming back and doing this for me. I probably would have had to call Triple-A.” She felt like a wet mop standing on the hot asphalt, sweating profusely watching him hoist the flat tire into the back of the van and shutting the hatch.

“It’s the least I could do,” he said, grabbing his t-shirt off the top of the car. He used his shirt to wipe the sweat from his face, neck, chest, and dirty hands. The shirt was ruined.

“Oh, wow. You just ruined your shirt. Do you have to be anywhere?” she asked with concern. Her eyes were about to pop out of her head watching him.

He ran his hands through his damp hair again, a noticeable habit she was starting to enjoy.

“Nah… I was just heading home by way of Lenox Mall. I can stop by there another day.” He shook his head with disbelief and laughed. “It sure is freakin’ hot out here!” He grinned, rubbing the soiled t-shirt on the back of his neck. “I want to pay you for a new tire, okay?”

She shook her head even though she wasn’t sure how she’d pay for a new one. “No, that’s all right. Thanks though.”

“Okay, but you look hot. Would you like to go for a swim or something?”

Josie held her breath. Did he just ask her to go for a swim? She suddenly felt very dizzy and put her hand on the van to steady herself.

I hope you enjoyed this first excerpt from UNEXPECTED. Be on the lookout for more excerpts and glimpses into the making of my debut novel!

Romance is not what I am looking for right now. Truth be told, I want to love and be loved as well, but I just cannot afford it. Love is a lot of work, and I am not sure that I can handle it right now. I need to be wise with how I handle relationships, and that is not something that I can do at the moment. I wish to love in the future, but let me skip that for now.

So you might have decided you have a scrap car, rusting away on the drive of the house or in your back yard taking up too much space and generally getting in the way. This might be a salvage car that you need to get cleared by a licensed scrap car removal company. You might no longer have any need for this motor vehicle so you feel its time to dispose of it.

As cute and helpful as this life hack is.. all I could think is “oh my gosh she calls them WALMART bags!!!” I’ve done this since I was little and my husband teases me because we hardly ever shop there anymore, but I can’t break the habit!

Your vehicle's fuel delivery system plays a vital role in delivering fuel to the engine to facilitate combustion. Every component of the fuel delivery system should work efficiently in order to supply right amount of fuel at the right time. For high pressure diesel engines - supply, precision, and timing of the fuel delivery system are crucial to deliver the required pressure, which in turn is necessary to ensure optimum fuel economy.

Window tinting has many benefits that are often overlooked due to some widespread misconceptions. As a result of these misconceptions, many people do not consider it as a window treatment option and instead choose other window treatment solutions that are not as beneficial.
