HOT ON HER TRAIL . . . 
 
Teresa Phelps is not having a good day . . . All the lovely though  quirky doctoral candidate wants to do is to buy new towels for her   aunt’s coming visit and make a quick getaway to her Galveston area beach  house. Then drop-dead-handsome Brit Charles Everett barges into her  life . . . and abducts her at gunpoint from a Houston department store!  Even more bizarre, Charles claims that Teresa is having an affair with  his father. Certain she has been kidnapped by a nut case, Teresa tries  reasoning with Charles, to no avail. Worse yet, they are soon confronted  by an outlandish brigade of thugs, thieves and lunatics, all of whom  want to kill her!  
 
Everyone seems to want something from Teresa, including Charles, but  she has no idea what it is. Could it have something to do with her  brother’s recent death in a freak accident? Although Charles claims he  wants to protect Teresa, the greatest danger may be to her heart, as the  sexy, debonair Brit seems determined to win her over lock, stock and  barrel. What is Charles really after? Can he and Teresa solve the  mystery before disaster befalls them? Or does he have an ulterior motive  that may threaten her very life?
