There’s only one hitch to winning over mousy cartoonist Marlie Montague—this shut-in’s more timid than Joan Wilder behind that door and won’t give any stranger the time of day, no matter how handsome.
Until a pistol-packin’ UPS imposter makes a special delivery: one bullet to make this Marlie's last cartoon caper. Adrenaline blasts Marlie out of her cautious cocoon and sends her bursting through Joel’s window in a panic, straight into the hunk’s shocked arms. Kaboom! Kablam! Kapow!
Now they’re on the run rogue-style, road-tripping in Joel’s muscle car, throttle punched, driving dirty with death in the rearview. With lives on the line, it’s no time to play things safe in a conspiracy deeper than the Deep State.
Can by-the-book Joel keep his cool with this shut-in turned wild woman riding shotgun? More surprises than a ticking bomb, she leaves him shaken, stirred and chasing after his runaway heart!
