The Tiara Club
by Beverly Brandt

A novel full of Southern charm, characters, food, and the difficulties of keeping secrets in a small town

Georgia Elliot grew up in Ocean Sands, a small Gulf town full of Southern charm—and a super-efficient grapevine. So the few secrets she's managed to keep are precious, including that she's the inventor of TV's hottest new kitchen gadget, the Miracle Chef. A second-generation beauty queen, Georgia turns to women she knows she can trust to keep her secret from her controlling society Mama: the Tiara Club. All the members are veterans of the pageant circuit, but they've just admitted one woman who doesn't fit in—Sierra Riley, a Yankee who's never taped her breasts or smeared glue on her butt to wow the judges. And this year the Tiara Club is determined to help Sierra win the coveted Shrimp Queen crown. Add in an impending wedding and the Club's attempts to keep Georgia's secret, and the members of the Tiara Club have all they can do to hold on to their poise, their friendships, and their sense of humor.
