<b><i>Can a lie of omission lead to love?</i><br> <br> Joe DeMarco</b> of Nowhere, West Virginia believes in love at first sight. From the moment he sets eyes on the gorgeous, long-legged beauty stranded on the side of the road, he knows. <b><i>She's the one.</i></b> Even if she's standing in front of him threatening to blind him with a bottle of hand sanitizer. He likes her idea of foreplay. He likes <b><i>everything</i></b> about her. Even when she's maligning his character, calling him a terrorist - and he, the chief of police! He should tell her who he is. What he does. And he will...<b><i>soon.</i><br> <br> Julia Stockton</b> of New York City, currently stranded on the side of the road in Nowhere, West Virginia is having a bad day. Bad year, actually, now that Karma has it out for her. Or maybe it is <b><i>because</i></b> of Karma. More likely it is because the man she loved had lied to her, betrayed her, and carved out her heart, taking her bank account as a departing gift. She's done with men! So why has Karma dropped her on the side of the road in god-forsaken West Virginia, taunting her with a handsome, blond-haired, broad-shouldered god? The kind of man she harbors secret fantasies about? The kind of man she could so easily fall in love with, <b><i>if</i></b> she was looking for it. <b><i>Which she is not.</i></b><br> <br> But Joe is very persuasive. And Julia willingly gives Joe a weekend. One she's sure she'll never forget. And then she gives him move. She gives him her heart. And for a while Joe is everything she wants. Until she finds out he isn't what she thought. Is love camouflaged as betrayal? Or is it exactly as it appears?
