Josh and Caroline from Unexpectedly Yours: Finding Your Other Half.

Characters often have insight into each other we authors find surprising, so when I was thinking about this post and I wondered what Josh and Caroline, the hero and heroine in my second Forever Love Story, Unexpectedly Yours, thought about each other.

They didn’t hold back—here’s what they had to say…

Caroline Rossi, geotechnical engineer and aspiring romance author:

I have such strong memories of Josh from when I was younger. I was five when my father left his frenetic life on Wall Street to become an estate manager and our family moved onto the Rossi’s estate on Long Island.

We’d been living in New York City and I remember the change in lifestyle being a challenge for all of us. We’d gone from having what I considered a perfectly sized apartment, with a park two blocks away to having acres and acres of land outside the front door of our big house on the estate grounds.

The Rossi kids and Campbell kids became fast friends. Josh was the oldest and I worshipped him the minute I laid eyes on him. He was eleven and I think, even back then, I knew he’d be mine someday. He was loyal and protective and he always looked out for those who needed it most, and while he doesn’t remember, he protected me from my older sister’s teasing more than once. These are the same traits that brought me back to Josh as an adult.

He sensed the problems I was having with my boss; rescued me from a Friday night setup; encouraged me when I hesitated stepping out of my comfort zone. He was everything I wasn’t, bold and brave, but what surprised me most was that he didn’t surprise me at all. The Josh of my dreams, the one I wanted him to be, was exactly who he was—smart, down-to-earth and yes, unendingly loyal. And the most amazing thing? He loves me. This strong, handsome, brilliant man, loves me—the wallflower—and he loves me just as I am.

The best feeling in the world is knowing I’ve been right about him all along, that he deserved every unrequited, adolescent tear I’d shed. Josh would tell you that I love being right…and I do.


Josh Campbell, private equity fund manager:

Caroline was always just my best friend’s little sister who tagged along when we had important boy stuff to do. I didn’t pay much attention to her, but I did try to watch out for her when her when she was picked on by her older sister, Meg. Caroline was always the quieter of the Rossi siblings, but what I didn’t know back then, when we were kids, was that all that quiet translated into a lot of strength.

Caroline is the strongest person I know. She’s smart as a whip, and beautiful to the core, but it’s her inner strength that finally captured my heart.

There’s nothing in the world like a woman with nerve.

She does nothing halfway, and while she may be unsure and tentative, she does what everyone else is afraid to do, she puts her heart and soul into everything. She did it for me. She gave me all her love, never questioning and it saved me. Caroline saved me from focusing on money rather than people, she helped me be closer to my brother. Hell, the bottom line was that she saved me from myself.

Loving Caroline has been the easiest and hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s the easiest because she makes me happier than I’ve ever been, but it’s hard because I have to constantly work to deserve her.

It’s true. She once commented that I was out of her league. I laughed because if anything, she’s way out of mine, and I will spend the rest of my life telling her just that.

Thank you so much for reading. Tell me, who’s surprised you recently?

It was a win-win arrangement…until Caroline lost her heart…

Caroline Rossi needs to reinvent her life. Being a geotechnical engineer hasn’t exactly proved to be a guy magnet. She’s never really had the opportunity to let her hair down and have fun. But when a chance encounter with her big sister’s brother-in-law—millionaire Josh Campbell—leads to a night of unexpected passion, Caroline starts engineering an arrangement that will give them both what they want. She can help Josh with an important real estate project and he can school her in the art of amour. At first Josh balks—but there’s something irresistible about Caroline, something very different from the bombshells he usually dates.

Can the friends with benefits agreement really work? Or are Caroline and Josh playing a dangerous game that may end in heartbreak?
