WHEN FORTUNE SMILES (The Fortune Series)

His fellow students see Joe Fortune as a bright and pleasant young man, but something of a geek. No one knows of his secret life as a female impersonator, or of his burning desire to be Josie - the woman he feels he always should have been.

Working in a computer graphics business that he and some friends have set up, he does some photo imaging work for a client, which starts him on a roller-coaster ride, involving hired killers, a corrupt politician and the police. To escape death threats, he takes the opportunity to pretend to be his twin sister Jessica, becoming a ski rep for a month in a European ski resort.

With more twists and turns than is good for him, he faces the truth, his family and friends, finally taking the decision to become Josie - the girl he always wanted to be, but all the while dealing with issues that are far bigger than he is.
