"A woman sits next to a very dashing, mysterious man in first class, decides he's the love of her life," Tia Williams says, describing her new book, The Missed Connection. "They didn't exchange information, and she hires a detective to track him down. The detective is also hot, so she has a love triangle on her hands."
The Missed Connection is Williams’ eighth novel, the latest in a successful career that includes Seven Days in June and The Perfect Find, which was adapted into a film starring Gabrielle Union. Williams certainly knows how to craft a romance, but before she was dreaming up stories about jet-setters and detectives, her ideas came from her own life—with a twist.
