Unorthodox Love tells the story of 29-year-old Penina, who longs for true love and marriage. But being infertile in the Orthodox Jewish community means she’s rarely matched with the cream of the crop—or even skim milk two weeks past its expiration date. Enter Sam Kleinfeld. Rude, secular, undeniably sexy . . . and also Penina’s new boss. The last thing he wants is a relationship, especially not with a beautiful, smart-mouthed employee. But soon an attraction builds that neither can ignore. Will Penina follow her heart and find true love, or will she stick to the traditions she knows best?

Heidi Shertok is an Orthodox Jewish woman, wife to a stud-muffin engineer, and mother of three. When she isn't writing, she can be found walking her eight-pound attack dog, admiring other people's gardens, or hiking in high heels.

Ellie Palmer is the author of the forthcoming romantic comedy novel Four Weekends and a Funeral. She's a lifelong lover of love stories, a carrier of the BRCA1 mutation, and a prototypical Midwesterner who routinely apologizes to inanimate objects when she bumps into them. When she’s not stories featuring delightfully messy characters, Ellie’s at home in Minnesota, eating breakfast food, watching too much reality television, and triple texting her husband about their son.
