Author Thomas Walters has announced the release of Unexpected Encounter, an adult romance novel now available worldwide in Kindle format via Amazon.

Parker, depicted as an elite golfer competing at the highest levels, meets Jennings when she is assigned to profile him for a feature article.

The novel incorporates settings from the professional golf circuit, including tournament venues and international travel.
