About the Book Unfortunate Homecoming
Book: Unfortunate Homecoming
Author: Sherri Wilson Johnson
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Release date: April 5, 2022
Renovating the old family home and living on the quiet Magnolia River in Magnolia Springs, Alabama sounded perfect to Shaun Bartley. But when trespassing treasure hunters threaten not only his life but his ex-wife’s life too, will he fight for what is his or forfeit the fortune in order to save their lives?
After ten years on the Okefenokee Swamp as a fishing guide, Shaun Bartley returns home to conduct tours on the Magnolia River and renovate his great great-grandfather’s old home. When Deputy Fire Marshal and volunteer firefighter Sierra Beaumont, Shaun’s ex-wife, warns him about deadly treasure hunters who will kill for a chance to explore his property, he thinks she’s trying to run him out of town. When he discovers she’s pregnant with twins by her recently deceased second husband, Shaun can’t help but want to be there for her. But Sierra’s heart has been broken twice, and she’d rather raise the children alone than be abandoned again.
Shaun must deal with his past and find a way for Sierra to forgive him or risk losing any chance he may have at winning back her heart. Since keeping her safe means keeping her far from his home and the trespassers, yet she is the Fire Marshal assigned to his case, it will take a miracle for them to survive.

My Thoughts on Unfortunate Homecoming
Unfortunate Homecoming is the third book in a series but lucky for you it can be read as a standalone book. Enjoy it today! This is the first book in the series I’ve read so I can truly say you won’t feel left out or in the dark about characters if you start with it.
Now for the book!
I loved reading this book. It’s full of suspense and mystery. Plus it’s a good ol’ second chance at romance type book.
The book has a great solid Christian faith and the characters have to come to terms with what is happening as well as turn to God for their help. Sierra is pregnant with twins and puts herself in danger on more than one occasion. One might think Shaun wouldn’t care. After all, she’s his ex-wife. But he does. Oh and no those aren’t his babies. She had a second husband who they’re from.
Confused yet?!
Don’t worry. It all gets explained in the book and you’re going to want to read the whole thing because it’s amazing and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

More from Sherri
Unfortunate Homecoming is comprised of many of my favorite things: Historic houses, a water source (river, lake or the ocean—it doesn’t matter!), men with beards, strong female heroines who get things done while still being tender, murder or crime of some sort, and faith! Oh, and a secret that takes until the end of the book to figure out. I love a good mystery and page-turning suspense. I hope this story is that for you!
This is book three in my Jeopardized Reunions series, which is set in the Mobile Bay area of Alabama. This particular story is set in Magnolia Springs, Alabama, a gorgeous, quaint town with less than 1,000 residents. It’s a dreamy place that I was fortunate enough to visit while on my vacation in August of 2021, and I will return there next week for a book signing at the local library.
My heroine is a Deputy Fire Marshall and a Lieutenant in the Magnolia Springs Volunteer Fire Department. I was thrilled when a Lieutenant who helped me with my research invited me for a tour of the actual fire department in my book. What was even more exciting was the fact that while I was there on the tour, they got a call and left me at the station!
I promise I didn’t get into too much trouble, haha!
The small-town charm was definitely present and so authentic that day.

I hope you will consider checking out Unfortunate Homecoming and the other books in the series, all set on Mobile Bay and all written as standalones.
The common thread?
They are all reunion romances. So while my characters have a past that tore them apart, they have the promise of a future.
I’d love it if you’d follow me on social media and join my subscriber list. I’m always excited to hear from readers!
