Maya Cartinelli's job as a claims adjuster takes her from Oklahoma City to Austin and everywhere in between. She loves her job helping people put their lives back together, and loves driving the winding country roads.

It's Valentine's Day, and she's headed for home to make a last attempt at salvaging a relationship that was past time to call it quits. When she stays too late helping a client, she gets dumped by phone, somewhere on a little road outside of Georgetown.

Maya's pride is hurt, but her heart's not really broken, and it's the wild Texas storm that blows her off the road and into a ditch that makes her mad. Wet and frustrated, she makes her way to the nearest farmhouse in the driving rain.

Maya gets a welcome surprise when hunky Miguel Rios opens the door.

Is this Valentine's Day about endings or does she have a chance at a new beginning?

Author Notes:

Unexpected is a steamy short story featuring stormy nights,old farmhouses, and a happy ending.
