When Carlisle Wainwright Cushing left her native Texas to
start a new life in Boston, she had no regrets. The former
Texas debutante, who never felt at home in her Southern
skin, had found liberation--or so she thought. Until the day
she gets an urgent call from her mother, reporting that:
one, the Symphony Association Debutante Ball, which
Carlisle's family has sponsored for years, is about to be
called off;
Two, her mother's divorce has the whole town
talking;
And three, the family's good name is at stake and
Carlisle is the only one who can fix it all.
So Carlisle
takes a leave of absence from her law firm and goes to Texas
to help. Her fiance, who has no idea she's an heiress, can't
know that she's organizing the ball, handling the dramas of
the girls involved, settling her mother's suit--and coming
face to face with the true love of her life, whom she ran
out on when she left Texas.
Her trip home challenges
Carlisle's sense of herself and brings the pieces of her
past togther, so that when she finally re-meets the man of
her dreams, she's in a perfect place to tempt fate.
