By: Bria Mackenzie

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When successful yet anxious author Rylie Marlone agrees
to a secluded retreat, she never imagines that
she'll be sharing the idyllic space with the object of her
secret affection.

Rylie Marlone is on a mission. As a burgeoning author, she must beat the relentless clock of her approaching deadline, creating a story that will solidify her place in the literary world. When the hustle and bustle of city life begins to suffocate her creativity, her wealthy best friend, Sophie, comes to the rescue with an offer she can't refuse—a peaceful retreat to the family's idyllic country estate in Lake Forest.

The sprawling, serene estate offers the perfect refuge for Rylie, at least until she unexpectedly collides with her deepest, most closely guarded secret: Sophie’s older brother, Sean. The man who's been the subject of her fantasies for years, his sudden presence stirs up feelings she'd tried so desperately to keep hidden.

In the presence of Sean, Rylie finds herself fleeing to her room, not out of dislike, but a mixture of anxiety, anticipation, and longing. As they start to share more time together, she realizes that he's dealing with his own tumultuous emotions. His relationship with his girlfriend, Marilee, is on the rocks, and he needs Rylie for a favor that will undoubtedly change everything.

She must impersonate his girlfriend at the family's extravagant wedding. It’s an act, a charade, a farce—but will the unwanted emotions that come with it be just as illusory?

'UNWANTED EMOTIONS' is an absorbing tale of romance, self-discovery, and the intricacies of the human heart. As Rylie navigates her burgeoning feelings, deception, and the challenging world of the wealthy elite, she's forced to confront not just her own emotions, but also those of the man she's desperately loved from afar. Is love worth the risk when it could cost her everything? Or will these unwanted emotions be the key to her happiness?
