About this eBook

Wealthy developer Neil Friessen always gets what he wants — but he can’t get his new neighbor Candy McRae to sell her oceanfront property. Will he give up his plans for the woman he can’t resist? A passionate contemporary romance!

“Neil is Candy’s knight in shining armor. You can’t help fall in love with them.” (April, Reviewer)

In THE UNEXPECTED STORM, Candy McRae is barely making ends meet. She's heartbroken and alone with her horses and baby donkey living hand to mouth on the most sought after oceanfront property. Everyone wants it, including the wealthy hunk who owns the estate next door. And when he offers to buy it she refuses. His first mistake was asking her out. His second was not meaning it. Even though he could solve all her problems, she'd rather sell to the devil himself.

Smart and sexy Neil Friessen is quite the catch. He's not only drop dead gorgeous with a body women dream of. He's wealthy, stubborn, arrogant and thoughtful. He attracts women, and million dollar deals, and plans to build a resort on the property next to his. He has the plans, the money, and the resources. The only thing standing between him and his sweet deal is the dark haired beauty who owns the property he wants.

When a storm forces everyone to evacuate Candy refuses to leave her animals, and her property. But it's Neil who shows up, Neil who rescues her. Except by the time he finds her, vulnerable and hurt, they can't get out. Neil is alone with the one woman he's always wanted. And he'll have to choose between this dark haired beauty that fills his dreams every night, and building his million dollar resort.

Ratings and reviews

The male lead is hard for me to believe. I just had a hard time getting into this book

I loved this book. Candy and Neil's story felt so real. Shows how family opinions can alter how you real feel about someone.

Once you start reading this book you don't want to put it down. I don't understand why it is written in several books.
