The story of the century may be hiding in her junk mail folder!

Think that annoying Spam clogging your computer is just so much cyber junk- mail? Top notch TV reporter Charlotte McNally begins to suspect it may be much more than that—in fact, she discovers some of it may be carrying secret big money messages to the group of insiders with the key to decode it. Problem is, the last outsider who deciphered the truth now resides in the local morgue.

In the high-stakes high-pressure world of TV news, this could be the biggest story of Charlie's life. Or it could be the one that will end it.

Charlie's also facing another dilemma: the battle of on- the- air aging. What happens when a top-notch TV reporter is married to her job—but the camera doesn't love her anymore? Will the glamorous Charlie become a media old maid? And will that dishy professor turn out to be the answer to all her problems—or the biggest problem of all?
