She was a blond goddess, a box office megastar. Every woman wanted to be her; every man wanted to bed her. But over a year ago Devon Stafford vanished without a trace.
As a biographer, Jake Gannon had taught himself to follow the clues of a person's life story like a detective. As an ex-Marine, he was accustomed to being firmly in control. But when his car died in a little town called Mare's Nest on the Carolina coast, he had to admit he'd come to a dead end.
There he met a .38-toting tow-truck driver named Dixie La Fontaine. She was no celebrity, but Dixie had an irresistible sex appeal all her own. What did this down-to-earth woman know about a missing movie star?
Surprisingly, quite a lot. And Jake was going to uncover it all … if Dixie didn't end up shooting him first.

"I liked this book. It is a mystery, but not a murder mystery. It is funny, sexy and has a few twists. It was somewhat predicable, but still a good read. It is a quick read. "

" What can I say? I'm now a fan of tami hoag's romance and mysteries, though as she says, there are sometimes parallels. This was a nice light read to pick up and put down at random, we all need books like this sometimes :) "
— Fiona, 2/18/2014" It was okay. I would read other works by this author. "
— Carla, 1/31/2014" I enjoyed this cute book. Dixie was a hoot- loved her. Jake brought a smile to my face- great match for Dixie. I also liked all the "neighbors" in the small town- what a bunch of people. "
— Christine, 1/20/2014" Ugh, what a dull, predictable story. The only reason this is even two stars is because the ending was cute(r than expected). "
— Sophie, 1/20/2014" I liked this book. It is a mystery, but not a murder mystery. It is funny, sexy and has a few twists. It was somewhat predicable, but still a good read. It is a quick read. "
