Publisher's Synopsis
Glory Mann knows what it's like to spend a lifetime trying to outrun a scandal. So when her grandmother and the rest of the Sunday School Mafia play a prank on the mayor and get caught, Glory steps in and refuses to let them take the fall. Her punishment: public service in the form of acting as chairman of the Miss Sugar Peach Pageant. Yet she becomes the envy of Sugar when Cal MacGraw, the most sought after bachelor in town, is elected her right hand man...
The last thing Cal MacGraw needs in his life is another woman. Between his meddling grandma and Payton, his hormonal teenage daughter, he has more estrogen in his life than any one man should. So when Payton announces her intention to win the Miss Sugar Peach Pageant and he's elected to the committee, he's determined to change the rules. Swimsuit category? Over his dead body. But as he--and his daughter--spend more time with wild, sensual Glory, he can't deny how electric the chemistry is between them and how strong Payton is growing just being around her. When a secret from Glory's past resurfaces and threatens the pageant, the town is up in arms and Glory is ready to leave for good. Can Cal convince her to give him--and Sugar--another chance?
