Upstate Expectations is the feel good romance with a spicy kick that will travel to the top of your TBR again and again.

The last thing Nora Heely expected when she woke up today was to find herself stranded in a thunderstorm. With a dead phone. In upstate New York.

But plans change. One dead geriatric cat, one work deal gone sideways, and one little mistake of not checking her gas tank while deciding at the last minute to spend the week with her best friend, means Nora is stuck.

Life is good for Jimmy Lewis, he's the third generation owner of his family's hardware store. He and his sister work together to remodel homes in their community. And, sure he might not have a girlfriend but he knows a good thing when he sees it. He just hasn't seen it, yet.

When Jimmy pulls over to help a stranded driver is he up to the challenge of convincing this redhead to stay? When Nora hikes up her pencil skirt and climbs in his truck is she ready to let someone else behind the wheel?
