Sleigh Belles

Reporter Dallas Dubois is charged with taking over when the director of the children's Christmas play falls ill, but she finds it difficult to relate to the kids and to maintain her focus when her former high school crush reappears.

From a USA Today–bestselling author, a Southern belle with trust issues finds forever love with her secret crush in this holiday romantic comedy. Join the Sassy Belles for Christmas, Southern style! With her hair perfectly coiffed and a heavy trail of perfume wafting behind her, local news reporter Dallas Dubois is sure she’s about to kick her career—and maybe her love life—into high gear. The director of the Tuscaloosa children’s Christmas play has fallen ill, and Dallas is ordered by her station manager to take the reins. Everyone is shocked—especially the musical director, Cal Hollingsworth, who still remembers her as the Ice Queen from high school. Dallas has never met a challenge that a little lip gloss and a Chanel knockoff couldn’t fix, but she has no idea how to relate to these kids. Things are made even more complicated by the butterflies she gets whenever Cal is near. . . . But when long-lost family members reenter her life, Dallas’s icy veneer begins to melt. And with Cal by her side, she soon realizes that it’s what’s under all the hair spray that counts.

Kudos to Beth Albright for capturing its spirit so perfectly.” —Celia Rivenbark, New York Times–bestselling author of We’re Just Like You, Only Prettier “Readers will find some sexy southern fun for Christmas with the Sassy Belles.” —Library Journal
