Opposites are irresistible!
If something feels right to Mandy Colson, she goes for it. That’s why she never stays long in one place and why she’s landed temporarily in sleepy Willow’s Eve. That’s also why she’s got a huge problem with new city manager Daniel Whittier. Sizzling attraction aside, the gorgeous single dad is all about control and playing it safe—and Mandy isn’t.
So why does everything change when their arguments turn into combustible kisses? Now, instead of moving on, Mandy’s edging closer to Daniel…and falling deeper for a man who might not compromise, even for love.
“What a klutz I am.”
Daniel careered through her door a second later and saw her sprawled on the wood flooring.
“You okay?”
“Sure, just embarrassed by my two left feet.” Mandy groped around under her sore rear end and found the pen that had started her foot on its sideways journey, then held it up. “Here’s the culprit. Let’s have it arrested for unauthorized loitering.”
He reached down to grasp her arm and help her upright. Mandy swallowed as she stumbled against his muscular frame. Man, did she want to know how it felt to be held tight and get kissed really thoroughly for once in her life.
She stepped away and tried to smile, only to realize he was looking at her in a way that wasn’t collegial. Suddenly he pulled her close and bent down to press his lips against hers. Energy popped and she snuggled into an embrace that was as good as she’d imagined.
I like small towns and the quirky people you sometimes find in them. Those interesting folks are probably in big cities as well, but they tend to stand out more in smaller communities. Willow’s Eve, its people and its problems are fictional. But the small-town feeling of community is something I’ve encountered in many places, and so I wanted to share the spirit of it in this fictional setting.
I hope you will enjoy the story of Willow’s Eve and the hero and heroine who meet there. Both Daniel and Mandy come from large cities and are quite the opposite in their plans and the way they approach their lives and careers. Yet they fall in love and find that what they’d always thought were the best plans aren’t always the ones that will bring them joy.
I hope you have fun reading Until She Met Daniel. I enjoy hearing from readers and can be contacted c/o Mills & Boon Books, 225 Duncan Mill Road, Don Mills, ON M3B 3K9, Canada.

Until She Met Daniel
Callie Endicott
As a kid, CALLIE ENDICOTT had her nose stuck in a novel so much it frequently got her into trouble. She majored in English in college to support her addiction to stories, but it wasn’t enough. Out of desperation, she turned to writing, and now when she isn’t walking on a beach or taking a mountain forest trail, she usually has her nose stuck to a computer screen. That is, when she isn’t feeding her cat, scooping the litter box…and listening to Myna purr. Myna has a new friend, also four-footed, but she doesn’t like Winston, since he’s a rival. However, Winston and the guy in Callie’s life are getting along fine.
Dedicated to all the good, quirky souls I’ve known through the years
