Every ugly duckling is a swan in waiting...

Emma Frazier is smart, hardworking, and loves her job as a
journalist for a Florida lifestyle magazine. Emma knows
she's no great beauty, but she's pretty certain she has a
shot with her handsome new boss, Ben Gallagher—until
Emma overhears a mutual acquaintance refer to her as the
"ugly friend." In an effort to reclaim her battered
self–esteem, Emma decides to impress Ben at work by
promising an exclusive interview with NASCAR legend, Trip
Monroe.

Emma and Trip went to high school together and although it's
been fourteen years since they've spoken, Emma is certain
she can score an interview with the elusive super star. But
connecting with Trip turns out to be harder than Emma
imagined. Her quest for the interview leads her back to her
tiny hometown of Catfish Cove, where old secrets and a new
romantic interest shake up Emma's views on life and teach
her that maybe the key to finding true love is as simple as
accepting yourself for the person you were always meant to be.
