A star quarterback has one weekend to reclaim the woman who sacked his heart. Or get her out of his system once and for all.
Only for her best friend, and for charity, would Tory Sinclair set herself up to possibly meet Mr. Wrong in a takeoff of The Dating Game. She never expected that Mr. Wrong would turn out to be Mr. The One Who Got Away.
After Tory disappeared five years ago without a word of explanation, Gabe Matheson never expected—or wanted—to see her again. But with the entire city watching, and his career on the line, how could he refuse?
When they’re thrown together in a situation that forces them to bare their souls, their secrets—and a few other things as well—Tory and Gabe quickly realize that fate might have given them the last thing they wanted. But it could be exactly what they needed.
What People Are Saying:
“The Last Thing I Wanted is a very readable story. …one thing this story has in its favor is Ms Scott’s most adorably bubbly way with repartees. This story makes me chuckle several times. ”
4.5 Blue Ribbons! “With her usual witty style and fresh approach to romance, Ms. Scott delivers another humorous offering. Ms. Scott’s voice and humor come through on the pages and have me anxiously waiting for more from her in the future.”
5 Hearts! Ms. Heather Rae Scott has an incredible way of expressing herself. Her sense of humor is evident within the bonds of this novel; the plot is wonderfully written and was something that I absolutely could not put down. Her characters are so well explained—I can imagine groups of friends with attributes as she wrote them actually being friends. “This is my first Heather Rae Scott book; however, I can assure you it will not be my last! I believe this is part of a trilogy; I cannot wait to get the other one already written. I can guarantee you lots of laughs, plenty of tears, and remarkable memories when the book is complete. Ms. Scott will quickly become a must-read. I loved it! “

What People Are Saying:
“Aptly titled, THE LAST THING I EXPECTED is a charming tale of having love surprise you.”
— Jennifer Bishop, Romance Reviews Today
“…Ms. Scott has written a cute love story about good friends carrying secret torches. Grace can only be described as self conscious, always second guessing her decisions, until she is forced to assert herself. Eddie is a fat kid in a thin suit, at least in his mind he is, achieving a lot in his life while failing to recognize the hole in his heart. Their interactions are both sweet and shy, and bold and aggressive, plainly showing their hidden passion for each other. I got caught up in their story and finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed it and recommend it to any reader who needs a change.”
— Kathy, Coffee Time Romance
Rating: 5 Angels “…The Last Thing I Expected was a fantastic twist on the fat kid from high school blossoming into a gorgeous person. This time it’s the man. I really enjoyed watching the characters in this book struggle with the past and look at people as they are, not as they had been. The three friends, Grace, Tory, and Callie, were a delight to read about and I can only hope that Heather Rae Scott has plans to write the other ladies’ stories.”
