In the heart of London, a grand masquerade ball brings together two strangers in an enchanting encounter. Jake, captivated by Amelia's striking mint green eyes, shares a passionate moment with her before she vanishes into the night, leaving him with only a haunting memory of their connection. Determined to find her, Jake embarks on a relentless search that leads him to a strip club, where he discovers Amelia's hidden life.

Amelia, a young woman burdened with the responsibility of caring for her twin siblings, has resorted to stripping to make ends meet. Her world is a stark contrast to Jake's, who comes from a wealthy, charitable family. As their paths cross again, they must navigate the complexities of their vastly different lives and the secrets they each hold.

"Not What He Expected" is a story of love, resilience, and the unexpected turns life takes. As Jake and Amelia's lives intertwine, they uncover truths about themselves and each other, forging a bond that challenges their perceptions and changes their lives forever. Will their connection be strong enough to bridge the gap between their worlds, or will the secrets they uncover drive them apart?

I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life. In the eyes of the world, Amelia, or Amy as most would call her, had everything you ever wanted. A successful career, rich background, a loving brother, and a handsome boyfriend turned husband.

With Amy's heart already in her husband's hands, her husband hell bent on making her life a living hell and her not knowing what has she possibly done in the twenty five years of her existence to make him hate her so much, what is much left for her to do but comply?

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died.
