Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gibbons women of Chesterton, Virginia, have built their reputation as a family of shameless--but refined--gold diggers. They even have a strict set of rules by which they operate. But the rebellious, youngest Gibbons is about to break them all. . . Lauren Gibbons is committing the ultimate family betrayal: abandoning the tradition of seducing men for money. Nothing is worth the abuse she's endured from her sugar daddy. Now a sous chef, Lauren is hoping to break from the past for good. And when she meets hot former NFL player Crisanto Weaver, she even lets herself imagine a future. But the small-town rumor mill--and her own sisters--aren't ready for a new Lauren. Between her conniving relatives, her vengeful ex, a mountain of debt, and a whole lot of haters, can she escape her old life, and create something new? "A deliciously sexy, sultry novel." --Daaimah S. Poole "Ellis starts her new Gibbons Gold Digger series. . .in fine form. . . Be ready to laugh and cry with these new reality stars of Chesterton, VA." --RT Book Reviews
