Queen of the Court (Paperback)

Ex-stripper Shana Lee Jones thinks she's finally left her disreputable past behind when she convinces her wealthy husband, former outlaw biker Wayne Jones, to bail out bankrupt Belle Vista Country Club. To the horror of its elite members, Shana arrives on the club's historic grounds with a TV crew in tow, and begins filming her very own tennis reality show, Queen of the Court. From day one, the show is an epic disaster for the socially prominent members, especially the "Bitches of Belle Vista," who play on the club's prestigious ladies' tennis team. As the cameras capture humiliating episodes ranging from wardrobe malfunctions to on-court cat fights, team captain Allie Beech becomes desperate to take back "her" club before Queen of the Court ruins her husband's political ambitions. She launches a relentless public campaign to ostracize the sincere but hopelessly tacky Shana, while privately delving into the disappearance of heiress Pippa Edgemoor, whose trust fund could free Belle Vista from the Joneses. However, Allie doesn't realize that her investigation could reveal unsavory secrets long hidden by the privileged and pedigreed denizens of Belle Vista, including her own mother. Shana, meanwhile, discovers that there are parts of your past you just can't outrun, especially in four-inch heels. This is a rollicking, enjoyable novel with an unlikely and audacious heroine, Shana Jones, who takes on country club society with hilarious results. Queen of the Court serves up an entertaining mix of social satire, mystery and just plain fun.
