Ally Jarret has longed to be a wildlife photographer
forever, but devotion to her grandmother has kept her close
to home. When her grandmother dies, Ally inherits a
sizeable fortune and a personal assistant, nerd
extraordinaire Mitchell Caruthers.
Bodyguard PI Mitchell chafes at the geek persona he's
forced to assume in order to stay close to Ally, but he's
willing to do it in order to protect her from a sleazy
uncle. When Ally high-tails it off to Porcupine, Alaska, to
begin her career, Mitch is right behind, much to her
disgust. Betsy, owner of the Loose Moose, a former brothel
turned inn, is thrilled with Mitch's arrival, seeing him as
potential husband #8. A little less than thrilled by the
population explosion in Porcupine is Clyde, who has it in
mind to be Betsy's next husband.
When a midnight refrigerator raid treats them to
a "boinkathon" between Betsy and Clyde, Ally and Mitch
begin to see one another in a different light. Ally's good
intentions not to take advantage of the nerd who loves her
are seriously tested when she gets a good look at Mitch
during a game of strip poker. It's the arrival of Ally's
uncle that completely destroys the geek persona, when he
and several of the townspeople are forced to snowmobile to
the rescue.
Ms. Thompson scores big in this latest nerd caper. At turns
sexy, bawdy, tender and hilarious, she lets loose a cast of
crazies who will have you laughing out loud at their
antics. Make sure you have plenty of time when you sit down
to read this one because you're not going to want to put it
down!
Inheriting a fortune means less to Ally Jarrett than
fulfilling her real dream: to take off for the wilds of
Alaska and photograph animals. Unfortunately she's also
inherited her grandmother's personal assistant-an over-
protective nerd who couldn't survive a snowball fight.
As a PI and bodyguard, Mitchell Caruthers is the perfect
man to protect his late employer's granddaughter. However,
keeping his geek-masquerade-and the secret behind his real
mission-isn't easy when the freeze between Ally and
Mitchell begins to melt. Yet all's not well in this sub-
zero paradise. Ally's bad seed uncle is staking a claim on
the family inheritance with a dangerous masquerade of his
own. With Ally's life in danger, it's time for her right-
hand nerd to expose the real man undercover, and prove
himself to the vulnerable body he's been hired to guard...
