From the national bestselling author of the Bottom Dollar series: "a delectable page-turner with twists and turns at every corner" (San Francisco Book Review).

The unspooling of Toni Lee Wells' Tiffany and Wild Turkey lifestyle begins with a trip to the Luckett County Jail drunk tank. An earlier wrist injury sidelined her pro tennis career, and now she's trading her tennis whites for wild nights roaming the streets of Rose Hill, Georgia.

Toni Lee's wealthy family finally gets fed up with her shenanigans. They cut off her monthly allowance but also make her a sweetheart deal: Get a job, keep it for a year, and you'll receive an early inheritance. Act the fool or get fired, and you'll lose it for good. Toni Lee signs up for a fast-track Teacher Corps program, hoping for an easy teaching gig. What she gets is an assignment to Harriet Hall, a high school that churns out more thugs than scholars.

Luckily, Carl, a handsome colleague, is willing to help Toni Lee negotiate the rough teaching waters and keep her bed warm at night. But when she gets involved with some dark dealings in the school system, she fears she might lose her new beau as well as her inheritance.
