Synopsis
The day my life took an inevitable detour things got a little crazy.
My name is Essalin Brant, but everyone calls me Essa. I attend a small college in a tiny town, and in my twenty-two years of life I’ve never even traveled outside the state of Pennsylvania. You could say my life is pretty boring. I live by the rules. I’m a good girl and nothing exciting ever happens.
But that’s all about to change.
Enter Farren Shaw. Not only is he older and intimidating, but he’s more sure of himself than any 29-year-old man has a right to be. Did I mention that he’s drop-dead gorgeous? Well, he is. He also happens to be my best friend Haven’s brother. And I would be content with just fantasizing about Farren from afar, but when Haven suddenly goes missing, her gorgeous brother is the only one who believes me when I say she was abducted, even though all signs seem to suggest Haven left town willingly.
I know better, though. As does Farren. So when he asks me to accompany him to search for his sister, I accept.
That’s when the real adventure begins.
Our quest to find Haven takes us across the country. And throughout the time we spend together, I find myself falling for Farren . . . falling hard. He's everything I’ve ever wanted. But is he really someone I should fear?
Because aside from making me feel things I’ve never felt before, Farren is hiding something. Something big. What could this stunning man be keeping from me? And why? Is Haven’s disappearance somehow connected to his mysterious job?
All I know is that things are about to get real.
Welcome to the Inevitable Detour that has become my life.

Excerpt
With me in the
driver’s seat of a car I never dreamed I’d ever even sit in—let alone drive—I barrel down a long stretch of
blacktop desert road that’s as straight as an arrow.
“I can’t remember
ever feeling this free,” I shout to Farren over the loud engine noise and wind.
He smiles. “You’re
doing great,” he shouts back.
“Damn, Farren”—wind
whirs through the open top, blowing my hair everywhere—“this thing is fast.”
He chuckles, nods.
But at 150 mph, he urges me to “ease up a little, baby.”
My cheeks warm,
and it’s not from the blazing sun beating down on us. No, I’m heated by the
recollection of how Farren uttered those same words to me an hour ago, before
we left the warehouse, and after he’d loaded our luggage and his cache of
weapons into the Ferrari. His hand trailed up my skirt when he was back in the
car. I was seated in the driver’s seat, and within minutes, I was grinding down
hard on his fingers.
Now, just like
then, I don’t listen.
I don’t ease up,
and when we hit a patch of gravel, the wheel jerks in my hand. I lose
control—again, just like earlier. But instead of coming hard, like I did
clenched around Farren’s fingers, my whole body now tenses in a different way.
“Essa,” Farren
warns.
Finally, I ease up
on the gas and hit the brakes. The car fishtails but remains on the road. When
we come to a full stop, I let out a held-in breath. “Oh my God, that was
awesome.”
Farren
twists in his seat, placing his hand at the back of my head. He twines his
fingers in my hair and closes the gap between us. His lips crash to mine, hungry
and greedy. We can’t get enough of each other these days. I lose myself in
Farren as he urges my mouth open. He touches his tongue to mine. He tastes
delicious, even as he consumes me.

Character Interview with Essalin Brant
Interviewer:
Hey, Essa. *Interviewer sits down and gives a little wave* Hello and
welcome. Glad you could join us here today.
Essa: Aww, of course. *Essa takes a seat across from
interviewer* Thank you for having me.
Interviewer:
So, let’s get right to it, shall we? *Essa nods*
In Inevitable Detour you not only
take a physical trip (across the country), but you also embark on a journey of
self-discovery. How did all that come about?
Essa: *takes a deep breath* Well, it’s kind
of a long story, but let me try and sum it up. I always followed my parents’
rules, but I knew the life they’d directed me into wasn’t the life I
wanted to be living. Their intentions were honorable. It’s just their dreams
weren’t my dreams. Know what I mean?
*interviewer nods*
So, anyway, I was starting to
rebel, beginning to cut loose, and when Haven went missing… Well, there was
just no time for dragging my feet. I had to take a stand. I had to take that
inevitable detour and begin my journey.
Interviewer:
Has Farren Shaw helped in this
journey of finding yourself?
Essa: *pauses, takes a breath* Yes,
immensely. Farren has helped a lot.
Interviewer:
I can definitely see you care deeply for him. Tell us more about this
fascinating man Farren Shaw.
Essa: *dreamy-eyed*
Oh, Farren. He’s everything a woman could possibly want: gorgeous face, a bod
to die for… I could go on and on. But his best attributes are the ones within
him—his fierce protectiveness, his huge capacity for love.
Interviewer:
*wistful look* And he sure loves you.
Essa: Yes,
he does.
Interviewer:
*sigh* Okay, so back to the questions… What is your favorite part of Inevitable
Detour?
Essa: Oh,
that’s easy. My favorite part of the book is falling for Farren. I had crushed
on him from afar for ages. Meeting him…well, it just blew me away. And the best
part of everything was getting to know him. Because of the circumstances, we
grew close quickly. I guess when it’s right, it’s right.
Interviewer:
Are you excited for Inevitable Circumstances, the conclusion to the
Inevitability duology?
Essa: Well,
uh, yeah. If you read Inevitable Detour you’ll know I now need Farren more than
ever.
Interviewer:
Pfft, that’s for sure!
********both
grow quiet*******
Interviewer:
We should probably wrap this up. Thank you for talking with us today.
Essa: Thank
you for having me.
