Humanly speaking, Lord,
there are many things
about the Holy Bible that bewilder me.
I don't mean philosophical issues
such as where Adam's sons got their wives
the date of Christ's second coming
an explanation of the Trinity
or whether to include the Apocrypha.
Nor am I concerned with the decency code
though the Old Testament has risqué language by anyone's standards,
such as the expression
"All them that pisseth against the wall."
And I'm certain every Board of Education
has long ago banned all other books
that give explicit details of drunken orgies,
evil spirits, deception, devil worship,
and daughters who seduce their fathers.
My questions deal with simple things, Lord
but I hope you'll hear me out.

SINGLE STATUS
B.J. is a woman with a mission-- to show that she can handle a start-up engineer's job as well as any man. Then maybe she can prove to her ex that she is not the helpless wife he left for another woman.
Dana is a man grieving the deaths of his wife and young son in a terrorist plane crash. Through a mix-up at stateside headquarters, B.J. and Dana are forced to share a villa in the single status job in St. Croix. B.J. is the scapegoat when things go wrong at work and Dana becomes her reluctant defender--when he is not defending himself against her unjust conclusions about him.
Despite their attempts to prove otherwise, the powerful attraction between them grows. B.J. is blamed for a bad accident at the plant and her job is on the line. When Dana is almost killed trying to find the real culprit, will B.J. finally admit that the love they have found together is the most important thing of all?
