A surprise addition to their business plan…

Ascension Publishing’s newly minted publisher, Morgan Chambers, has to make the organization profitable or risk everything he’s ever worked for if it fails. Morgan doesn’t have time for distractions like pretty Noa Dunnavant. He’s only meeting with her to discuss her novel. Not the fact that he can’t stop thinking about her.

Noa’s novel is the lightning rod the company needs. Her book’s success feeds her ego, and covertly spending time with Morgan feeds her soul. But that little pink plus sign changes everything. A baby was never part of their plans. Will this plot twist begin their final chapter, or seal their happily-ever-after?

Title:  Their Unexpected Plan
Series:  Lowcountry Promise #1
Author:  Donna Hill
Published:  August 25, 2026
Publisher:  Harlequin Special Edition
My Rating:  4 stars

Their Unexpected Plan is the first story in the Lowcountry Promise series, featuring Noa, an up-and-coming author, and Morgan, a new publisher who feels he must prove himself at any cost.

I liked the story overall; I adored Noa, but unfortunately, I only tolerated Morgan to get to the heroine’s story.  I don’t like a control freak, in real life or in fiction, and that is what Morgan screamed at me continuously.  And frankly, I think he needed to do a lot more groveling, but that’s me.  It’s a good story, and I will continue the series as it releases.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley, and I sincerely thank the author or publishing house for their trust. I chose to leave a review sharing my personal opinion of this book.*
