    Every joy has its challenges…
     
    After twenty years, childhood best friends Alexandria Thornton and PJ Brightwood have reunited—and fallen in love.

But their happiness brings unexpected complications for those they care about most…
     
    A devoted wife, loving mother, and successful businesswoman, Victoria Thornton is a pillar of her suburban Atlanta community. But when her daughter, Alexandria, becomes engaged to the son of Victoria’s former lover, her past mistake threatens her orderly life. As the impending marriage reunites both families, it reignites old feelings that test all of their relationships—and all of their boundaries…

      A successful career woman looking to settle down is torn between two very different men in this romance by the author of The Other Side.   Smart, sexy Victoria Small has come to the end of her year off—from men, that is. She’s enjoyed her hiatus, the peace, quiet—and no unexpected interruptions. But now she’s ready to have someone to come home to. And her timing is perfect, as not one, but two, handsome possibilities enter her life… Ted, a powerful, blue-eyed CEO sends a thrill of excitement through her that shocks Victoria out of her comfort zone. Meanwhile, Parker, a talented surgeon, melts her defenses with his warmth and ebony good looks. The men are as different as can be—inside and out—but they have one thing in common: they both want Victoria. And as she struggles to decide what—and who—she really wants, Victoria will have to face her deepest fears, secrets, and desires—and decide if she’s brave enough for true love, no matter what color it comes in. Her answer just may surprise everyone, including herself…   Praise for Unexpected Interruptions “Hickman hits all the high notes in this charming modern romance where love and loyalty trump race.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
