The Novel: Penelope's Paths (What If... #1)

The Author: Isabelle Peterson

The Guest: Rosemary Watson, Host of Curated Conversations

The Synopsis: Is there only one path to a Happily Ever After? Is one choice, or path, better than another?

After a humiliating divorce, Penelope Pierce is about to try her luck in the dating world for the first time in years. Luckily, she has her two best friends to help her face the singles scene.

Laura, single and loving life, wants to bring Penelope to the club scene. Drink. Dance. Have fun. Nothing serious. Her married friend, Shannon, on the other hand, wants to set Penelope up with a guy from her husband's legal firm insisting he's “perfect” for Penelope.

Should Penelope go on the blind date? Or hit the clubs?
It’s up to YOU, the reader.

If you choose for Penelope to go on the blind date... When handsome, confident, British William makes a risqué and daring request, does Penelope rise to the challenge? Or does she retreat? And then what?

Or, If things get hot and heavy at the dance club with the full-lipped, floppy-haired musician, Mitch, will Penelope lean into her desires? Or does she run and not look back! And when she encounters a curious noise in the night…then what?

You, the reader, will make Penelope's choices, and you will determine which kind of risks Penelope takes and what kinds of romances Penelope gets. Your choices will bring about a wide range of favorite romance tropes and adventures. Most are happy endings, however - as in life - things don't always work out.

But one of the best parts about Penelope's Paths... When you get to the end, you can go back, make different choices, and enjoy an entirely different story.

1 heroine... 9 potential heroes... 10 unique endings.
