About TWIST OF FATE:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis comes a new story in her Heartbreaker Bay series…
When the one you want…
Daisy doesn’t believe love is ever-lasting, so it’s ironic as hell that she parlayed a business degree into a wedding planning business. More ironic still is her latest job bringing her back into contact with the man who’d taught her that love can’t last.
Is the one you can’t have…
To say Diego has been taught the hard way to bury emotions is an understatement. But when he’s called home to help the brother he hasn’t seen or spoken to in years, that’s one thing. It’s another entirely to also come face to face with the first woman he ever loved. First and only…
Can love conquer all?
Daisy’s learned to depend only on herself, and Diego is and always has been an island of one. And yet when they’re together, even when they’re bickering, still wary and haunted by memories of what was … it’s magic. The question is, how to find their way back to each other…?
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

BOOK TRAILER
Excerpt
Daisy smiled at
Tyler and then turned back to Diego. “It’s nice to see you.”
What the hell? He’d
fallen asleep on the boat and was dreaming this, right? Nice to see him?
Was she kidding? He’d told her that he loved her, and then she’d left. Moved to
New York for college without looking back. He opened his mouth to remind her of
that fact, but Rocco stood up and tugged on his arm.
“I think we
should talk outside.”
Diego wrenched
free without looking at him and turned to Daisy. “I need to talk to you.” He
had no idea what game she was playing, but he intended to find out.
Daisy opened her
mouth to say something, but before she could, Rocco once again put a hand on
him.
Diego looked down
at his arm. Rocco was older by two years, but at six foot four, Diego had four
inches on his brother—most of them harder and leaner. Rocco with his bulkier
mass outweighed Diego and was more badass when it came right down to it, but
Diego was working on a lot of resentment and anger, so it’d be a solid match.
And a fight long
overdue.
Rocco dropped his
hand from Diego and shoved his fingers through his shaggy, black hair that was
the same as Diego’s. Apparently, Rocco had learned some restraint over the
years, but not too much as he jerked his head to the door and lumbered out.
Diego followed
without looking back.
Which wasn’t easy
because Daisy had looked…different. Among other things. She’d always been
girl-next-door pretty. And part of what Diego had loved about her was that they’d
had a lot in common. Both had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks, the
poor kids who didn’t have a penny to their name.
She was still
girl-next-door pretty, but there was a whole new air about her now, as well.
She was dressed in a blue suit dress and matching heels, looking professional,
smart, and incredibly sure of herself—which he had to admit, was attractive as
hell.
But she also
looked like someone he didn’t know. Certainly not the type of woman who’d mesh
with a guy who lived on a boat.
“Well,” he heard
her say to Tyler as he walked away. “That went about as well as expected.”
In response,
Tyler laughed softly, apparently unconcerned that his fiancé was about to get
the pretty punched off his face.
REVIEW QUOTES FOR JILL'S NOVELS:
“Readers will enjoy this return to the small-town-in-the-big-city atmosphere that Shalvis has honed to perfection.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Red-hot passion that promises to last longer than the holidays.
Bringing readers a tough outsider heroine and a hero whose wounds run
deep, Shalvis (Playing for Keeps) knows how to write characters readers adore and keep them coming back for more.” – Library Journal starred review
“Shalvis serves up another rewarding addition to her Heartbreaker Bay series with a contemporary romance that deftly pivots between snarky humor and sexy romance without missing a beat, while also celebrating the power of forgiveness, family, and friendship.” – Booklist
“Another amazing installment in an already fabulous series by Jill Shalvis. Great read at any time in the series. Each story reintroduces some fan-favorite characters but absolutely stands on its own merit. Never too late to join the band wagon of Jill Shalvis fans and Wrapped Up In You guarantees membership.” – Fresh Fiction
“An uplifting tale of two emotionally wounded and like-minded souls helping each other heal.” – Romance Junkies

What I thought about Twist of Fate
Diego
returns to San Francisco for his brother's wedding and finds out his
ex-love is the wedding planner. It's a bit tense until their first kiss,
and then Diego and Daisy are suddenly thinking they might pick up where
they left off. They do have some past trust issues to resolve first,
but it's clear that the feelings are still there.
I adored Diego's brother Rocco and his fiance Tyler. They were a sweet part of the story and I found myself wanting more of their story.
I love the Heartbreaker Bay series from Jill Shalvis, mostly because it takes place in my favorite city and the characters are engaging and interesting. While I did like Daisy and Diego and their second chance story, Twist of Fate is just too short to develop deep feelings for these characters, which is why I'm rating this 3.5 stars.

I am a big fan of this author. This is a bit longer than a novella, almost half a book but still shorter and that's harder to get in the character development or time together. It can work in a second chance romance because they already know each other.
