Roxie Treymayne Parker was living as a "Raleigh Wife," arm
candy for her lawyer husband until she found out
that "cheater" was the newest additional to his resume. A
bit of a goodie two-shoes, she ditches her sensible clothes
in an effort to shake up her life. She dyes her hair
blonde, gets some short skirts and some "do-me" heals. Oh,
and don't forget the naval piercing. She thought a nice-
girl-gone-bad makeover would make her feel better, but it
didn't. She still fell apart when the divorce was
finalized.
Back in her small hometown, Roxie's mother begins to suffer
health problems. Roxie and her brother Mark make the trip
to Glory with Roxie's maid Tundy to assist. The vixen-like
Roxie rolls into town and immediately comes face-to-face
with an old high school flame -- Nick. Nick is a reformed
bad-boy- gone-good trying to be sensible and honorable as
the town cop. Clearly the flame begins to flicker again for
these two. Only this time the roles are reversed. He's
the "good guy" and she's the "bad girl."
This scenario is backdrop to a dramatic, pretentious mother
with health problems and one very colorful maid. Roxie
certainly has her work cut out for her. Luckily she finds
some time to play too!
New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Karen Hawkins pens a delightfully sexy tale of modern
love in a small Southern town.
Do Blondes Have More Fun?
Newly divorced Roxie Treymayne is dying to find out. After
years of being the perfect Southern lady, all she ended up
with was a cheating husband. So she goes bombshell blond,
gets a provocatively placed tattoo, and prepares to live it
up as a Bad Girl. But then her mother falls ill...and Roxie
is forced to return to Glory, North Carolina.
He'd Love to Know.
Once the town bad boy, Nick Sheppard is now Glory's highly
respected sheriff. When the hot blonde he stops for speeding
turns out to be formerly prim Homecoming Queen Roxanne
Treymayne, Nick doesn't quite know where to look -- though
he'd like a much closer one at the tattoo peeking from her
shorts.
But It Takes Two to Tango.
Roxie and Nick had a steamy fling in high school, but a love
affair between a Southern princess and a boy from the wrong
side of the tracks was doomed from the start. Now they have
a second chance. Can they get it right? Or will they just
end up...the talk of the town?
