Ever since her two year stint in prison for unwittingly
unleashing a computer virus into the free world, Avery
Nesbitt has become an agoraphobic. Not one to leave the
house until she's fortified herself with a good dose of
Jack Daniels, Avery spends the majority of her life in her
house online. So it doesn't come as a surprise when she
meets the man of her dreams, Andrew Paddington, and falls
in love without even having met him. But when she
discovers that he's not the faithful kind, she decides to
get even by unleashing a virus on his computer that's many,
many times worse than the one that landed her in prison.
OPUS (Office for Political Unity and Security) agent Dixon
doesn't know who Avery is but has been surveying her
activities ever since it came into light that she's been in
contact with Sorcerer, a deadly agent who's gone rogue.
When he discovers she's the creator of the virus that
virtually shut down the planet and is in the process of
creating another one, he uses a little bit of blackmail to
get her to agree to help him catch Sorcerer, a man Avery
knows as Andrew.
Helping Dixon and his partner Tanner catch Andrew would
have been easy for Avery if she hadn't been told that not
only would she have to leave her home to help with the
assignment but also she would be staying at her parents'
Hampton estate. Having been estranged from her family for
ten years, Avery doesn't know what to expect but she can't
imagine it'll be anything good. In fact, only good thing
Avery can see about the whole affair is all the time she
gets to spend with staggeringly handsome Agent Dixon.
A delightful and touching story about a lonely woman's
discovery about who she is and what she wants. I loved the
character of Avery Nesbitt. She's the kind of character I
think everyone can identify with on some level. A poignant
story that'll have you laughing, crying and falling in love
with this author. If you're worried about all the loose
ends that seem to not have been resolved in YOU'VE GOT
MALE, don't worry; this book is reported to be the first in
a new trilogy. I'm quite looking forward to the second
book in the series. I'm hoping the next one will be about
Avery's sister Carly and Dixon's partner Tanner.
Sometimes, when you least expect it, you become an ex-con.
But like many things in computer genius Avery Nesbitt's
life, it just kind of happened. And since her release from
the pen eight years ago, life has been good, even though she
never leaves her house and communicates--and dates--solely
through the Internet. Now the feds, specifically one Federal
Agent Dixon, are at her door again. But this time they need
her skills to capture a criminal mastermind. And in order to
catch him, Dixon needs to stay close to Avery. Very close to
Avery. Which means things are about to get a little sticky...
