The Unexpected (Unexpected Series Book 1)

A full-length novel.

I've had a crush on my best friend's brother for years. Which wouldn't be a problem, if he wasn't such a cocky jerk.
It's okay, though. My crush is based on shallowness, a simple attraction, so my heart isn't at risk of getting broken.

Well, that is until my best friend decides she needs to teach her brother a lesson and take his cockiness down a notch. Her plan: I'll get Carter to fall in love with me and then break his heart.

Not only does the plan work, but Carter ends up being different from the cocky jerk I thought he was.

At least that's what I think at first.

But Carter has secrets. Secrets connected to a dark, dangerous world. Secrets that could ruin my life.
