What happens when a young woman finds herself falling for two men—one black, one white, both determined in their pursuit for her affection?

Open the pages and take an unforgettable journey with Victoria Small, a smart, savvy sister who’s fresh off a year-long, self-imposed hiatus—from men! Now that she’s ready to start dating again, she gets more than she bargained for when Ted Thorton and Parker Brightwood enter her life.

In her struggle to rationalize her growing feelings for the white man who loves her, and forge ahead in her relationship with the ebony prince who fulfills her, she resurrects a painful secret she thought she’d buried long ago, and finds herself doing things she never thought she’d do. Along the way she’s joined by a colorful cast of friends and foes as she tests the boundaries of love, race, class and where she fits in.

Unexpected Interruptions is a sophisticated, thought-provoking novel you won’t soon forget, packed with both touching and humorous moments that will make you laugh, cry and jump with surprise!
