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 fiancé 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....

Stephanie Bond was five years deep into a corporate career in computer programming and pursuing an MBA at night when an instructor remarked she had a flair for writing and suggested she submit material to academic journals. But Stephanie was more interested in writing fiction-more specifically, romance and mystery novels. After writing in her spare time for two years, she sold her first manuscript, a romantic comedy, to Harlequin Books. After selling ten additional projects to two publishers, she left her corporate job to write fiction full-time. To-date, Stephanie has more than sixty published novels to her name, including the popular BODY MOVERS humorous mystery series. For more information, visit www.stephaniebond.com.
