Synopsis: Katherine Center&’s The Bodyguard meets The Fall Guy starring Ryan Gosling in a modern blend of screwball action and romantic attraction when a case of mistaken identity lands a college professor on the run with a mysterious—and dangerously hot—fixer . . . When bookish Penny Collins reluctantly lets her sister drag her to an estate sale at a neighbor&’s house, she&’s hoping for a little diversion rummaging through dusty antiques. Instead, she ends up in a public squabble over candlesticks with the deceased owner&’s nephew, Anthony—right before a dead body tumbles out of a closet. Penny&’s plan for the summer involved finalizing tenure at the university where she&’s a computer sciences professor. Instead, she&’s suddenly on the run with a man she barely knows, scaling walls, evading bullets, and accidentally stabbing henchmen. It seems the wrong people have got it in their heads that she&’s Anthony&’s girlfriend and, by association, in possession of something they desperately need—and will do anything to get. As for Anthony, he has a top-secret occupation as a fixer, but a recent fix went dangerously awry, and now he and Penny are dodging both a ruthless billionaire and the FBI. And it&’ll take all of Penny&’s plentiful savvy and common sense, in addition to Anthony&’s particular set of skills, to survive long enough for her to see the next semester . . .
