Celebrity journalist Chelsea Cassidy has been asked to write southern how-to guru Roxanne Scarborough's memoirs. Chelsea is not to keen on this endeavor, since she has seen the temperamental domestic diva in action. But she owes it to her editor to at least travel to Georgia to meet with Roxanne, who has also hired a documentary filmmaker to record the progress of the renovation of her newly acquired antebellum mansion.
Much to Chelsea's surprise, the architect in charge of the renovation is her college lover. Though she vows to not get involved with him again, Cash Beaudine is a hard man to turn down, and he melts all her defenses, making her decision even more tempting. But Roxanne is not what she appears to be. A true makeover maven, she has made herself over, and erased her white trash past. But there are people that know her secrets and are willing to do anything to bring the diva down even murder.
Ross is the queen of steamy romance, and the chemistry and sensuality between the two leads is incomparable. She gives us plenty of suspects and keeps the identity a secret until the end.
