Darcy McDaniel receives tickets to Cancun for her birthday
from her very rich husband, Warren. Upon her return to
Dallas, Darcy finds herself deserted by Warren, everything
she owns sold, including her house and personal items, all
the bank accounts closed and the credit cards maxed out.
Darcy learns that her husband has also embezzled $300,000
from his employer.
Darcy, being a "high maintenance" woman, finds it difficult
understanding how her husband could leave her high and dry
and then disappear. After getting her dog from the kennel
and making the humiliating transition to staying again with
her parents (in a trailer court, no less!), she's shocked
when her precious Mercedes Benz convertible is repossessed
by the handsome, but cold-hearted, repo man, John Stark.
Darcy cannot comprehend working for a living and sets out
to find another rich man. Instead, she ends up working as a
secretary for the repo man, much to his chagrin. Needing
clothes, Darcy is horrified when John takes her shopping at
Wal-Mart rather than loaning her the money. Darcy is
reduced from Caviar, Gucci and Starbuck's to lower-class
trailer park life. As a means of getting the money she
desperately needs, Darcy's desire to be a repo agent is
uppermost in her mind.
Darcy's husband's very rich and young boss is playing a
game with Darcy thinking he can "buy" her favors. By this
time, John has fallen head-over-heels in love with Darcy --
and she with him. Now, a power-struggle occurs between the
two men, and Darcy must decide between the love offered by
John and the high-society comfort offered by Jeremy.
HOT WHEELS AND HIGH HEELS is a whimsical, funny story that
keeps you chuckling and on edge waiting to see what Darcy
comes up with next. I loved the characters and the genuine
feelings Jane Graves gives to them, as well as her
great sense of humor. I look forward to more of this
author's entertaining stories.
Trophy wife Darcy McDaniel has just discovered that, thanks
to her embezzling husband, her posh, upper-class life is
gone for good. Now she's trading her suburban palace for a
trailer park and her weekly salon appointments for a job.
Darcy needs a new man--fast--one who'll keep her in the
manner she darn well deserves. Problem is, the hottest
prospect around is the my-way-or-the-highway hunk who's
making off with her beloved Mercedes!
Ex-cop turned repo
man John Stark is sure that hiring the furious blonde in his
headlights is a colossal mistake. He knows Darcy's
high-maintenance, designer-labels-only type--after all, he's
used to taking their cars. But he never expected this
hellion to have the smarts and the spunk to go from
receptionist to repo agent in record time...or to drive him
insane with desire. She's the last thing this tall, dark,
and dangerous loner needs...and everything he never knew he
wanted.
