Rejected by his girlfriend, Garland Grimsley, a professional “problem solver,” has no interest in solving anyone’s problem. All he wants is to curl into a ball while his psyche heals. Then he sees a picture of Janet Hopewell and her problem becomes his problem.
Unbeknowst to Janet–Garland was hired by her boss–Garland follows Janet to Oregon. In Portland Janet stumbles across a dead body and is kidnapped. Garland rescues her, but when she finds out that he was hired by her boss to follow her, she tells him where he can go.
Unable to abandon the love of his life to mortal peril, Garland follows Janet to Devil’s Point, and that’s where their troubles really begin. If they want to get out of Devil’s Point alive, they’ll have to work together. And that makes Garland, who can’t think of anyone else to spend the rest of his life with, very happy. That’s not exactly the way Janet see their relationship.
