Heels Over Head
by Susan Goodell
Newlyweds Jake and Luna are headed for epic calamity. Impulsively eloping after meeting on a bungee jump, they now must discover the stranger they married. But their wish for a marriage of constant surprises becomes more than they bargained for. First, they have no place to live, and every attempt to solve this only creates more mess. They deal with quirky roommates, Mari and Stan, by unwisely trying to match-make them. Then they must cope with mysterious disappearances, violence, intruding interlopers, and a disastrous dinner party ending in a mystical disco dance. As Jake and Luna bring their dreamy romance back to earth, they see their crazy love contagious to the people surrounding them.
