Killing time in a small town describes how bad boy Mick Winchester has been feeling about his life lately—until a reality TV show by that name rolls into his hometown. And the producer is none other than Caroline Lamb...Mick's college sweetheart and his one true love. But gone is the sweet Southern girl with big-city dreams. This Caroline is a Hollywood hotshot—all wrapped up in a thousand-dollar power suit and killer spike heels. Caroline isn't the barracuda she pretends to be—she's just desperate to make her murder-mystery reality show a hit. And when a real corpse turns up on the set, the network bosses are ecstatic. Think of the ratings! But actual murder is way too much reality—even for Caroline. Especially when getting real with Mick is all that really matters.
