Book Blurb

Maggie, a star lawyer, encounters her one-time nemesis Ashley, the faded queen bee of her high school, while on her honeymoon. Discovering that the erstwhile prom queen is married to a bore, Maggie might have felt pity for Ashley. But old resentments surge, and she can’t quell the questions that rage within her.

Could her wonderful new husband really love her, plain as she is despite her star-lawyer status? Or is he only with her for her money? Is she still that same gullible high-school girl? Shouldn’t Maggie be married to the bore, and doesn’t her new husband belong with Ashley?
