Be careful what you wish for... 
Average-Joe's steamy romance novel becomes a break out success that he will not admit creating. A rejected literary scribe/tighty-whitie inspector who reluctantly lives at home and toils in his family's garment factory pens a romance novel that becomes an instant phenomenon when it is released to the public inside packages of panty hose. Almost overnight he's anointed publishing's hottest "it girl." When he refuses to reveal his identity he creates a frenzy unlike anything seen before.
