Book 2 - Unexpected Impact
Just as Sophia chooses her career over her long distance relationship, she’s laid off from her job at Personna magazine. When she manages to land what appears to be a glitzy public relations assignment, challenges arise with the colorful CEO. Danger lurks when she gets too close to the truth behind the profits. Will her courage take her too far?
What the reviewers say:
"Unexpected Impact is more polished than the Essence, but retains all of the fun. This story focuses on Sophia, one of the key characters from the first book, and does a good job of mixing adventure, mystery, and romance. The book ends in a way that allows for many possible options for a third book in the series. I'm waiting to see what comes next!" Amazon reader
"I was looking forward to Nancy MacCreery's next book release after reading The Essence. Unexpected Impact was another great read. Sophia is a very likable character and her experiences in this book are true to life and to the corporate world. The plot was good with a good mix of mystery and romance." Smash words reader

About the author
Nancy MacCreery writes for people who enjoy action and mysteries but aren't into gore. Her books feature likeable (for the most part) complex characters with a propensity for jumping into action in situations that are not exactly their business but they can't help it because evil lurks and must be uncovered and corrected for good.
If you are intrigued by the challenges of our complex geopolitical world yet enjoy a touch of irreverent humor, romance and the antics of a group of intelligent, caring, sometimes fumbling and fun-loving cast of characters, Nancy’s books will offer you a great escape into a world of intrigue, trade-offs, and the crusade against greed and criminal intents.
The Scoops and Schemes series includes Book 1- The Essence, and Book 2 - Unexpected Impact and Book 3 - Cinnamon Bourbon and Deception. A new, totally different book is in progress -- look for it this spring.
Nancy can often be found hiking, swimming, obsessing over her garden, reading, studying the political landscape, or dreaming up intricately woven plots while drifting on a boat at Jordan Lake, North Carolina while her husband fishes for that elusive “big one”.
