Jacqueline O'Neil has a recurring dream that she's on fire, and not in a good way.Concealing her nightmare past and less-than-auspicious upbringing with a veneer of high-end clothing, Jac's determined to prove herself the antithesis of her alcoholic mother. On a long overdue holiday in the heart of Otago, the clothing designer has stolen precious time to re-evaluate her life, but the instant the downstairs tenant arrives all thoughts of relaxing go up in flames. Jonno Thompson-builder and one time one-night stand-has been the proverbial pain in Jac's ass for two years now, and it looks like he's just been warming up. What the hell does he think he's doing, crashing her vacation?If Jonno had known he'd be met at the door by a feisty hell-cat wielding a kitchen knife, he might have re-evaluated his need to escape his all-femme family. Forced proximity fuels the powder keg just itching to explode between these two polar opposites, but the more information Jonno coerces out of the self-made, take-no-prisoners redhead, the more he realises they're alike... Much more alike than either of them would like to admit.Gritty secrets are enticing to unfold, but they can also unravel the very fabric of a person and tear them apart. What's that saying about courting danger? Oh, yes... 'Feel the fear and do it anyway...' And Jac is about to become a master at it.

When 13-year-old Ben Caplan comes apart at school once again, he is given a choice-expulsion, military school, or what's behind door number three. Who would have guessed-a rolling rubber room, in the cab of a 70-semi truck, at 70 mph? To top it off, he's thrown in with the two guys he loves the most-who happen to be the guys who have brought him to the brink. Then Voilà, a Hail Mary intervention never tried in a school counselor's grab bag of desperate measures. The trip to Las Vegas with Dad during spring break, had already been planned, but now, with the command appearance of union kingpin Gramps, the Committee for a Better Ben has been expanded. With a whole lot of time and road, the boys have a week to get it figured out or it's bye-bye Ben. With only one safety valve, a phone-a-friend number to his favorite teacher, the future looks like a seven ten split. These are the guys in need of a head adjustment, but who gets sent to Group Therapy, with Mr. Shryke, AKA, the Shrikazoid, and a bunch of the school's real losers? Incredible as it might seem, truckin' therapy begins to have an effect. Storytelling, the Caplan birthright, begins its connective magic almost immediately. Inspired by an oral history assignment, serendipitously assigned immediately before the truckin' therapy has been mandated, the Caplan's begin to understand how the timing couldn't have been better. As the miles blow by, the Caplan archives roll out story after story, gold for Ben's project. Sadly, while the mother lode remains deeply buried, nobody is ready to do the heavy lifting. In lieu of the stories that need to be told, new ones keep popping up-at a medieval themed casino where Ben pulls Excalibur out of a stone and wins a free dinner. Another, where a frenzied grandma type sporting pink hair and Bermuda shorts, drops dollar chips into a gigantic slot machine faster than she can pull down the lever. And so many more.>Maybe the bad guys came knocking again.
