She's a struggling single mom. He's a widower on the road. Their worlds collide at a boyband concert—and nothing will ever be the same.

Ginny Blaine has scraped together every penny to give her daughter the birthday gift of her dreams: tickets to see her favorite boyband. But at the concert, it's Ginny who gets an unexpected surprise—meeting Hank Corbitt, a widowed dad traveling the country with his son, one of the band's singers. Sparks fly instantly, but love doesn't come without complications.

Nightly calls deepen their connection, yet when Hank oversteps Ginny's carefully drawn boundaries, she ends things—proving that even the strongest spark can flicker out. Can two hearts—and their two scheming offspring—show them that second chances are worth the risk?

Unexpected Encore is the standalone 90's romance origin story to The Corbitt Calamities pop-star thriller series. Meet your heroes before anybody tries to kill them.
