Cheri on Top (Bigler, North Carolina #1)

Sun-drenched beaches, designer-label clothes, drop-dead-gorgeous boy-toys�all paid for with a series of high-risk real estate deals. That�s the lifestyle Cherise Newberry and her BFF Candy enjoy after leaving rural North Carolina for Tampa�until the market tanks and they lose everything. Cheri is surviving on Ramen Noodles and temp jobs when she gets a call from home to come back and run the family�s small-town newspaper. Just one catch: She�ll become the boss of her high school crush�and former  brother-in-law�who might have the power to crush her all over again�

But Cheri is surprised to see how �bad boy� J.J. DeCourcy has grown into the hard-working and principled managing editor of The Bigler Bugle. Still, according to Cheri�s bitter sister, he�s not to be trusted. If Cheri�s going to co-exist at the with this sexier-than-ever man from her past, she needs to stay professional�and keep her distance �even though he sets her on fire. When they�re handed the biggest news story in the town�s history, Cheri must trust J.J., even it means putting her life in danger.�and her heart on the line.
