Hawaii & South Dakota – Present Day Hawaii resort employee Jean Harrington works the night shift and is glad that most of the time it is quiet. But one night, she gets a request from a guest in one of the cabins that they need towels. Jean obliges, and the last thing she expected was to find the guest naked. Charlie has a reason he is naked and why he ran out of towels. Most people would just walk away with a story to tell, but Jean is intrigued by Charlie. Turns out he is a scientist with an interest in snakes. While Charlie is a bit of a mystery, it doesn’t matter as Jean falls for him and they begin a secret fling. But all good things must come to an end when he disappears without a goodbye. She soon learns that Charlie is not only the son of a beer magnate, but he is the subject of a famous song by an international pop star. Jean feels she was misled, so with the help of a friend, she decides to track down Charlie at his parents’ home in South Dakota, where she plans to turn on him. A plan for revenge turns into a madcap romp in THE ODDS OF GETTING EVEN. Jean is always looking for a better job than the one she has at the resort, but at least it’s normally quiet when she works the overnight shift. But it all changes when she meets Charlie. He is shy and bumbling, with an interest more in snakes than in dating girls. Yet, as Jean later finds out, he is the alleged subject of a risqué song by a pop star. Is he indeed the world’s greatest lover? Jean has no complaints in that department after she starts her affair, but the Charlie she knows is much different than the Charlie talked about on social media. He is trying to hide out in Hawaii, but his parents soon send his assistant after him to bring him home because of a big party they are hosting. After Jean vows revenge, she plots to get into the exclusive party. She waltzes into the event in disguise, but there’s no denying that Charlie recognizes her, and he wants to pursue her. Is love in the air? There are too many other characters to mention to get them all in. Charlie’s assistant, Mugsy, is protective of him and suspicious of Jean’s motives. She should be! The pop star, Adriana, shows up midway through. Will she attempt to get back together with Charlie? Jean’s friend, Hildy, is looking for a juicy story to sell to the media. Will she get what she is after? But the main plotline in THE ODDS OF GETTING EVEN is the interactions between Jean and Charlie. It’s clear that they are deeply attracted to each other and seem perfectly matched. Jean is quirky, and Charlie is a nerd. What better people than for them to fall in love with each other? Readers will be sent on a journey watching these two circling each other. Will what they want from each other be what they get? A fun and wacky tale right from the start, be sure to not miss THE ODDS OF GETTING EVEN. Patti Fischer |
