Cut to the Chase

Small Towns have long memories… Anna Ridley thought she outlasted the rumors of her parentage that haunted her all her life. Her salon, Talk of the Town, was a huge success, with clients waiting weeks to get into for a cut and color. Then...Horace Crowne, the town’s patriarch, died and left her a huge inheritance. Word spread like wildfire, breathing life back into the stories that her mother and Horace were far more than co-workers. Anna would have willingly denied she was a Crowne and walked away. Unfortunately, a court order robbed her of that opportunity. Now, it falls to Chase Sloan—an attorney for the estate—to investigate the matter and determine if she’s a biological recipient of Horace’s fortune. Family secrets. Malicious exes. Brewing attractions. Boiling rivalries. All of it has twisted Anna’s life into a tangled mess. Can Chase comb through the clues to find the truth? Or will his constant pressing cause Anna to cut him from her life... and her heart? From best-selling author, Melanie Jayne, comes a brand-new series clipped with humor and highlighted with swoon-worthy romance!
