About the book
You're in trouble with a capital T!"

The first bolt came in the disturbingly attractive shape of Ben Radford.
The second--the unraveling of a well-kept secret--was a very challenge to her identity. She wasn't who she thought she was! But then something else came to light... Ben wanted her body, but not her love.... He was marrying Nita!
