When Lightning Strikes 

WELCOME TO WHISKEY CREEK-HEART OF THE GOLD COUNTRY! Simon O’Neal’s causing trouble again. And it’s up to Gail De Marco to stop him. Gail De Marco left Whiskey Creek, California, to make a name for herself in Los Angeles. Her PR firm has accumulated a roster of A-list clients, including the biggest box office hit of all-sexy and unpredictable Simon O’Neal. But Simon, who’s just been through a turbulent divorce, is so busy self-destructing he won’t listen to anything she says. She drops him from her list-and he retaliates by taking the rest of her clients with him.Desperate to save her company, Gail has to humble herself by making a deal with Simon. The one thing he wants is custody of his son, but that’s going to require a whole new image. He needs to marry some squeaky-clean girl who’ll drag him off to some small, obscure place like Whiskey Creek…. Gail’s the only one he can trust. She agrees to become his wife-reluctantly. But she isn’t reluctant because he’s too hard to like. It’s because he’s too hard not to love!WELCOME TO WHISKEY CREEK-HEART OF THE GOLD COUNTRY!Simon O’Neal’s causing trouble again.
