Not What I Expected

USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Jewel E. Ann redefines modern romance with this unforgettable enemies-to-lovers story.

Are humans meant to mate for life?

After four kids and an unfortunate but fateful end to her 22-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?
