Walk. Don't run...

Whatever was going to happen, Aidan Kendall had decided to stay and ride it out. The truth was, he was tired of running. Tired of packing up his suitcase and hitting the road to nowhere. Tired of being alone, keeping people at arm's length and waiting for the shadow following on his heels to catch up with him and destroy him. Maybe that was the reason he'd stayed in Old Orchard. Perhaps subconsciously he'd known that this was where his running would end.

So, he would stop running. And that included from the mysterious and unique Penelope Moon...and whatever bonds were developing between them. But would their love be strong enough to survive the truth?

"WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT is the latest adventure set in Old Orchard, Ohio. Tori Carrington has you wondering from one moment to the next what is going to happen. I suggest that you keep a box of tissue handy, Aiden's past will have you reaching for it.

"Tori Carrington are best known for their hot and sexy romances, but when you read their Silhouette Special Editions they draw on your emotions as well as turn up
the heat." Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews

"This writing team always delivers a fine romance."
"This is an engaging second chance at love tale that acts like a suspense thriller as the audience wonders what is “stalking” the hero. That is the beauty of this tale as Team Carrington sets up the audience expectations when High Noon occurs in Old Orchard, but deftly pulls the rug out from under the reader with a terrific sleight of the hand. Fans will appreciate the spin and take much delight with two wonderful protagonists and a fine support cast." Harriet Klausner, Review Archive

"This one will pull at your heartstrings!" There was nothing about this book I didn't like. The bit of intrigue kept me on my toes and the beautiful love story between Aidan and Penelope just had me reaching for tissues more than once. This book goes immediately on my keeper shelf!!

Excerpt from WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT:

Penelope Moon wondered why her skin suddenly seemed to burn all the hotter.

And Aidan Kendall didn't seem to have a clue as he stood inside her shop, considering the wholly rude Elva Mollenkopf who had just left.

“I wouldn’t take her behavior, um, personally," Penelope said. "Elva doesn’t appear to like anybody much.”

Aidan bent to pat Spot, the town cat, where she made a perfect figure eight around his ankles even as he gazed at Penelope. “Yeah.”

Her skin grew hotter still. Much hotter than she was comfortable with.

Darn summer and its heat.

She put the next load of jars down on the counter then moved to the thermostat to switch on the air-conditioning. “Looks like it’s going to be another scorcher.”

“I like it hot.”

Penelope suddenly had a hard time swallowing.

Aidan Kendall liked hot weather.

She slowly turned to find him picking up the jars she'd dropped before he'd come in.

“No!” she fairly shouted.

His puzzled expression made her wince.

“I mean, you don’t have to do that. Really, you don’t.” She hurried over to take the jars out of his hands. “I have plenty of time to take care of it before I open up.”

Aidan stood still, allowing her to take the jars from him. Only his arms could hold much more than hers. She juggled the higher amount even as he held up the last one, his grin making her toes curl inside her sandals. “Just trying to help.”

She looked at him. For how long, she couldn’t be sure, but she found herself leisurely staring into his deep brown eyes, noticing the slight crinkles at the corners, taking in the broad, manly curve of his jaw, the sensual definition of his lips. She wasn’t sure what it was, but she didn’t need summer to feel restless when Aidan was around. He instilled a certain…agitation in her with one glance. Threw off an energy that messed with her own calm aura, making her not only want to peel off her clothes, but climb out of her own skin as well.

Which would be all right, if only she didn’t itch to try on his skin instead...
