Norah MacArthur's normally calm, "medium" life has been a
whirlwind since her book about relationships hit the New
York Times Best Seller list. She's a professor of
psychology at the university and not comfortable with
publicity spots and talk shows. Hollie Roget is getting on
her nerves and making her mad. Enter Trip Jones to save the
day. He walks onto the set of Hollie's talk show, kisses
Norah passionately and steals her away. But as they are
making their way to her car, they are almost run down by a
car that pulls up on the sidewalk. This was not an accident!
Norah's father is about to get out of prison after 15 years
for his part in a bank robbery. The 50 million dollar loot
has never been found. Everyone thinks Norah knows where the
valuables are. The FBI has sent Trip to protect Norah and
try to find the loot. Norah knows nothing, but welcomes
Trip being here to keep her safe from other would-be gold
diggers. He's not bad to look at and the kisses are melting
her heart.
After visiting her dad in prison, the two discover the
whereabouts of the loot from Lucius MacArthur and set out
to retrieve it. Their journey takes them to a remote area
on the upper peninsula of Michigan and then to the Detroit
Zoo. Being run down by a boat, shot at and run off the
highway are only minor troubles that slow them down on
their scavenger hunt. Lucius, the con artist, has conned
them right from his prison cell.
The journey is wild and wicked as they are in pursuit of
this valuable loot and are being pursued by others who have
a vested interest in it as well. Things are hot and steamy
between Trip and Norah, and Norah is constantly
psychoanalyzing everyone and everything they do.
You're never sure just who's conning whom in this story.
Can Norah be as good a con-artist as her father and get him
to tell where the loot really is? WORTH THE TRIP is a fast-
paced, action-packed adventure that will keep you riveted
to the pages to see where the escapade and romance lead
next. It's "worth the trip!"
For behavioral psychologist Norah MacArthur, relationships
and family are stressful and
messy. That's why she leads a quiet, clinical, solitary
life. That is, until the days
leading up to the release of her con artist father from
jail. For fifteen years, Julius
has managed to conceal the location of his stolen bank loot
but now everyone, from two-bit
crooks to the Feds, is scrambling to get their hands on
it—and Norah is the perfect leverage.
It's a quick leap from ‘control group’ to ‘out of
control’—as FBI agent Trip Jones knows
all too well. He might like to strangle Norah himself, but
he's been sent to protect her.
Besides, behind Norah’s psycho-babble and ugly suits there’s
something special. Something
way more valuable than ill-gotten gains—and just maybe a
real life study in love...
