Unexpectedly Mine
She's a jaded professor with a genius IQ. He's a brooding mechanic with a heart of gold. When their worlds collide, sparks fly - but can they let down their walls and risk it all on a once-in-a-lifetime love?
Eric "Mac" Mackenzie lives life on autopilot, a struggling mechanic haunted by a troubled past. Then he meets Zoe Lawrence, a jaded young genius used to men running from her brilliance. Their worlds collide in a passion-filled one-night stand, and both are determined to end their involvement there.
But the magnetic pull proves irresistible, leaving them both on the edge of a love neither expected. As their connection evolves into a whirlwind romance, Mac can't let go of the notion that he isn't worthy of someone like Zoe, and his reluctance to confront his painful past threatens to unravel their fragile bond.
Will the fear of inadequacy drive Mac to sabotage the one relationship that could heal his wounded soul or will he find the courage to embrace an unexpected happily ever after?
Join Mac and Zoe as they navigate the complexities of self-doubt, vulnerability, and loving yourself in a world that often lets you down.

Fun & Flirty
Starts fun, flirty, and definitely dirty, then 💥 hits you all in the feels. On paper, Zoe and Mac don't make sense. She's a science nerd with a PhD before 25 and he is a mechanic who is finally going to college at 26. It was supposed to be just one night, but they seem to just fit. He's not intimidated by her brain but can he let her into his heart?

This author is one who will never disappoint!
As I came to the end of this book, there was so much I wanted to say, that I could barely get the words out. And when you read it, you'll see why.
Unexpectedly Mine is an erotic, steamy, sultry, and funny romance you'll want to read again and again. It's also a healing story for so many of us out there struggling with childhood hurts and pain that never goes away.
Thank you, Kyra Fox. Thank you for having the courage to write something so deep, to not be afraid to offer up yourself, your characters, your heart, your soul, and your compassion. This book not only pulled me in, but it brought the characters and their lives right into my living room to stay. Not only did you give me hours of enthralling entertainment, but many more hours of reflection and for many different reasons.
I truly believe every one of your readers will be better for it just as I am.

Wow, this is the first book I have read by Kyra Fox and what a great first read!!!
Zoe, 25 and already has her Ph. D has a hard time finding a guy that isn’t intimidated by her. Her educational background and the Dr. at the beginning of her name always seems to make the guys run the other way.
Eric was instantly attracted to the woman who was setting up the presentation for the next class, until he found out that she was the professor! She was way out of his league but he saw something in her that he just couldn’t walk away from but he also felt like she was so much better than him. He had to put distance between them because she deserved so much more than a simple mechanic!
They didn’t realize the pull they had towards each other but this is truly an opposites attract story you don’t want to miss!

Intense emotions, check. Hot scenes, check. Crying heartaches, double check.
I loved the book. I like that it tackled issues a lot of people in our world are experiencing. And that being sick is nothing to be ashamed of. Getting help is nothing to be ashamed of. There is a way to heal; from all the grief, the anger, the fear, and all the insecurities that life throws at you. And it helps when someone sees you and leads you to the path you’re meant to take.
Their love story was explosive, immediate, all consuming. But life catches up and past hurts and issues rear their head up and wreak havoc in their lives. But if there’s anything we should believe in, it’s that love will find a way to blossom again!
