The Life Unexpected series follows three couples whose love stories begin in unplanned circumstances. Safe In His Arms (2016), Someone to Trust (2017), and Starting Anew (2019) each explore what happens when characters are caught off guard by both life’s challenges and the possibility of romance.

Snitker uses the “unexpected” framing to create natural meet-cute scenarios grounded in real-life situations. The three-book format keeps the series focused while giving readers a small collection of connected stories about faith, trust, and love arriving when least expected.
