I was thinking about what sparked the idea for my new book, The Wrong Brother. My daughter has been married for quite a while but I’ll never forget when she met her future husband.
She was living at home in between teaching jobs. One of her college friends set her up on a blind date with an old friend of hers. He asked one of his friends to go and my daughter asked one of hers so it was a double (blind) date.
When my daughter got home I asked her how it went. She started talking about the guy she didn’t have a date with. Not just mentioning him but it was clear she was really interested in this guy. So I said, “Wait. Didn’t you have a date with the other guy?”
“Oh, yes. He was nice.” And she continued talking about the other one. So it wasn’t a huge surprise when the other one called her for a date. That evening he’d called my daughter’s date and asked if he minded if he asked my daughter out. He said no, that was fine. As they say, that was the start of a beautiful relationship.:)
And her original blind date? He told the story at their wedding.
So I asked myself what would happen if my heroine went to Marietta to meet a man she met online? And what if instead of falling for the one she went to meet, she falls for his brother?
Logan and Cici’s story doesn’t go nearly as smoothly as my daughter’s did. Even though Liam, Logan’s brother and the man she met online, agreed they were better as friends, that sure didn’t solve all the problems. (Liam has his own story in The Christmas Cowboy – releasing November 7th of this year.) You’ll have to read it to see what happens!
