JT Drake, a journalist, is reluctantly drawn home to see
what his nutty professor father is inventing this time.
Between a rain shower and a lightning bolt, he becomes an
active part of a refractor experiment - and becomes
invisible. SHOCKING BEHAVIOR tells of the struggle to
turn him visible again while soothing the suspicions of the
nosy neighbour, Mrs Moody. The neighbour's poodle is also
turned invisible, in error, and the poor woman becomes
convinced that the professor's work partner is a witch.
Roselyn Peabody, PhD, is no witch, but she does hide a
secret: her mother was a Las Vegas showgirl. The professor
explains that JT's mother died years ago during a sabotaged
lab experiment, and an associate stole the formula that
can reverse the invisibility. This sinister man is now
thought to live in Las Vegas - cue a plane flight, the
seeking of assistance from everyone from ten-year-olds to
Roselyn's mother, in order to steal back the secrets.
Meanwhile Roselyn finds that the strangest thing is
happening to her, given she has dedicated her life to
science; she is falling in love with someone she cannot
even see. JT wants to enjoy his new situation but only to
a point, for Roselyn is fast becoming important to him.
A humorous tale of personal discovery as well as
invisibility, SHOCKING BEHAVIOR throws several likeable
people into a
bizarre situation and lets them make the best of it.
SHOCKING BEHAVIOR will
be enjoyed by anyone who got science experiments wrong at
school, or who wishes they could be invisible for a day.
She might not be able to see him, but she knows how he makes
her feel.
Growing up with a mad scientist as a father wasn’t easy, and
J.T. Drake wants nothing to do with his dad’s wild
experiments now that he’s an adult. But when a late-night
trip to his father’s lab results in a newfound gift for
invisibility, only his father’s assistant, Rosalyn Peabody,
can help him.
Rosalyn has never met her boss’s son, but she knows he’s an
ungrateful child who doesn’t appreciate his father’s genius.
And yet, every time they touch, sparks fly. But will their
undeniable chemistry continue even after J.T. is cured? And
can a science-phobic man and a science-focused woman find
happiness together?
