After being disowned by her father and kicked out of her family home seven years ago, Maggie Malone found work with a modeling agency and became a supermodel. When her mother tells Maggie that her father is dying and he wants to make up with her, she hurries back to Texas only to learn that her mother lied and her father is still furious with her. Maggie promises her mother she will stick around and help run the failing family business. When she learns that someone is actually sabotaging the business, Maggie turns to her father's right-hand man, Dan Garrett, to help her discover who is behind the damage.

This is an older book published in 2000, so the story is a bit dated. It was strange to read a story where people do not carry cellphones. Some of the characters were very cardboard.
I felt like I was reading an old Sandra Brown book where the men (except the hero) are misogynists, and the women (except the heroine) kowtow to their every word. Other than the bone-headed reason Maggie's father doesn't like her, the story was very readable. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
