About the book
Bets Are On In Holly Springs...
Once upon a time—and after too many birthday margaritas— Holly Springs "Ice Princess" Lily Madsen decides she's had enough of being a virginal Southern belle and bets her friends that she can seduce a visiting television celebrity. But now Lily wonders if she's going too far. Especially since Fletcher Hart, the town's wickedly gorgeous veterinarian, keeps interfering with her plans....
When Fletcher (who has a bit of a reputation himself) discovers Lily's outrageous gamble, he feels obligated to protect the innocent beauty—until he finds himself caught in a scandalous wager of his own....
Now the game is on—and both Lily and Fletcher are determined to win. But how far are they willing to go in the name of love?
