The day my life took an inevitable detour things got a little crazy.But that’s all about to change.
Enter Farren Shaw. Not only is he older and intimidating, but he’s more sure of himself than any 29-year-old man has a right to be. Did I mention that he’s drop-dead gorgeous? Well, he is. He also happens to be my best friend Haven’s brother. And I would be content with just fantasizing about Farren from afar, but when Haven suddenly goes missing, her gorgeous brother is the only one who believes me when I say she was abducted, even though all signs seem to suggest Haven left town willingly.
I know better, though. As does Farren. So when he asks me to accompany him to search for his sister, I accept.
That’s when the real adventure begins.
Our quest to find Haven takes us across the country. And throughout the time we spend together, I find myself falling for Farren . . . falling hard. He's everything I’ve ever wanted. But is he really someone I should fear?
Because aside from making me feel things I’ve never felt before, Farren is hiding something. Something big. What could this stunning man be keeping from me? And why? Is Haven’s disappearance somehow connected to his mysterious job?
All I know is that things are about to get real.
Welcome to the Inevitable Detour that has become my life.

Exclusive Excerpt
I stare at the computer screen. It’s my last
exam of spring semester, and there are only five questions left on the
Strategic Management final before me.
My eyes are glued to words, forming a single
question. I know the answer. Yes, I do. But then my vision blurs, and I think,
ugh, whose idea was it for me to major in business?
Not mine.
The cursor on the screen blinks over answer
choice B. Like I said, I know the correct answer, and it sure as hell isn’t B.
What to do…what to do…
With a sly grin, I choose B and hit next.
I am feeling particularly defiant today. My
parents left me a voice mail this morning, telling me in no uncertain terms
that any thoughts of heading up to New York City this summer with my best
friend and roommate, Haven Shaw, are best put to rest. So much for thinking
it’d be fun to hang out in the Big Apple with Haven while she worked on finding
an agent, making acting contacts, and generally just doing whatever it is a
person needs to do when preparing to land a part in a play someday.
And not just any play.
“Broadway, here I come,” Haven said the
other day when we were discussing her big-city dreams.
She’s a bit theatrical, but that’s to be
expected. She’s a theater major, after all. Her goal is to eventually make it
as an actress on the Great White Way.
Conversely, my dreams are much smaller. My
primary longing lately is for something—anything—to happen in my mundane life.
I thought New York would be a promising start. Guess not. Thanks to my parents
and their aversion to anything fun for Essa, there will be no excitement in my
life this summer. Nope. Just like the two previous summers, I’ll be lulling
away the time here at Oakwood College. Excitement for me will consist of
chilling in the coffee shop on the edge of the tiny Pennsylvania town my small
college is located in. My after-class afternoons will include exciting
activities like staring out at cows and farmland, sipping on a mocha, and
wishing and hoping for something more.
And that’s just not right.
I’m a damn straight-A student, for God’s
sake. I don’t need to spend the summer at Oakwood, taking stupid summer
classes. Unfortunately, my parents don’t care about my wants and needs. They
believe their only child should apply herself year-round. Forget that I’m
already a model daughter.
Well, more or less. But that’s neither here
nor there.
Bottom line is that my parents will not, as
they put it in their terse message, have me “veering off course.”
Oh, really? So they think…
My defiance hits full throttle, and I
purposely choose the wrong answers for the next four questions.
I hit submit and think, take that, Mr. and
Mrs. Brant.
