Marybell Lyman is notorious for two things: Her look—the wicked hairstyle, multiple piercings, and practiced sneer that say, 'Stay back—I bite.' And her voice, the syrupy lilt that is her bread and butter at Call Girls, the prim little town's flourishing phone sex company.



Hunky handyman Taggart Hawthorn is mesmerized by the contradiction: such sweet tones inside such a spiky shell! He wants to know more about mysterious Marybell, to hear more of her sexy talk—all for himself. But Tag's attentions, delicious as they are, have Marybell panicked. She has been hiding a long time. She's finally got a home, a job, and friends she adores. She won't have it all snatched away by another stupid mistake—like falling in love. So when Marybell's past comes calling, she and the Call Girls will prove that no one handles scandals like a Southern girl!
