Author Interview
What inspired you to write A Love Unexpected?
In 2020 the nation's youngest congressman was elected. He was engaged at the time and I wondered what it would be like to plan a wedding with a congressman. I thought it would make an interesting story!
What do you love the most about this story?
I love the family dynamic between the Windell siblings! Their interactions are so fun to write. I also love how Odette is such an intelligent woman and that she's not afraid t stand up for herself! My editor helped me a lot with her character and I love how she turned out.
What challenged you about writing it?
Everything! haha. I had never even attempted to write a book before, so this entire process challenged me, but it was also a really fun learning experience!
Which character do you most relate to and why?
Probably Kate. (Odette's BFF) She's so quirky and spunky.
What do you hope readers will take with them after they’ve read it?
That our loved ones are more important than our careers/aspirations, and to put in the time and effort to make those relationships flourish. But above all, I just hope my books provide a little "getaway" from real life.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not writing?
I enjoy ice skating and reading. I go ice skating once a week, it's my happy place.

A Love Unexpected
(Under Kansas Skies #1)
By Leah Brunner
Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 224 Pages
May 21, 2021 by Leah Brunner Publishing
My one and only goal has always been to make it to congress. I’ve got it all: the looks, the brains, the connections… Except I missed one glaring requirement: a wife.
The conservative voters of Kansas don’t trust an unmarried man. Which means I need a bride. Immediately.
The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She’s a wholesome small-town girl, and most importantly, in need of cash. I’ll give her the money to take care of her elderly parents, and she’ll be the political arm candy I need.
The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and much too distracting. I have to keep my eye on the prize. Even when I’m starting to think there might be something I’d rather have more…
