When life knocks you down.... Atlanta debutante Carlotta Wren was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. So at 18, when her parents skip town after being accused of a white-collar crime and leave her to raise her younger brother Wesley, her entire world is upended. Her blueblood fianc dumps her, her high-society friends turn their backs on her, and her dreams of college fizzle into a career in retail just to get by.... Get up and get moving! Fast forward ten years, and Carlotta and Wesley are still kicking-each other. After sacrificing her twenties to be a mother to Wesley, she feels like a failure when the lovable genius slacker, who's up to his neck in gambling debt to loan sharks, is arrested for hacking into the city courthouse records-a move that puts their fugitive parents' case back in the spotlight. An exasperated Carlotta gives Wesley an ultimatum to get a real job...but she doesn't expect him to become a body mover for the morgue...or to be drawn into body moving herself...or for the experience to reunite her with an old love.... ___________ Critical praise for the Body Movers series: "Bond has successfully switched to the crime genre, bringing along her trademark humor and panache." -Booklist"This is a series the reader will want to jump on in the very beginning." -Writers Unlimited"A fun and exciting romp from beginning to end. Body Movers is signature Stephanie Bond, with witty dialogue, brilliant characterization, and a wonderful well-plotted storyline." -Contemporary Romance Writers"This series is simply splendid. Vivid, quirky, flawed wonderful people fill its pages and you care about what happens to them."Huntress Reviews
