The devil in the
junior league by
linda francis lee
Former Junior
Leaguer Linda Francis Lee has
crafted a scandalously delicious
novel that takes you deep into the
heart of Texas blue-blood society.
The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is très
exclusive. Undesirables need not
apply. Fredericka Mercedes
Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her
friends) is a member beyond
reproach...until her life begins to
unravel. When her husband betrays
her, steals her money, and runs off
to places unknown, it's something
Frede would prefer to keep under
wraps. The last thing she needs is
to become fodder for the JLWC gossip
mill. And to make matters worse,
there's only one person in town who
stands a chance at helping her get
revenge—Howard Grout, a tasteless,
gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has
bought his way into Frede's tony
neighborhood. But there's a price:
She has to get his tacky,
four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing
wife, Nikki, into the Junior League.
The crème de la crème of Southern royalty should sit up
and take notice, and hang on tight
for this irresistible tale of
getting in and getting even.
