Redneck Debutante

By Jenny Hammerle

Description:

Nothing could have prepared her for the sight of the rugged cowboy.
Green eyes, dark-brown hair, tall, tanned, nicely muscled.
And there she was, standing in the creek in only her underwear.

West Palm, Florida

Fifteen-year-old Rachael Harte has everything she could want—plenty of money, hang-out time with friends at the beach, and Colten, the hot boyfriend every girl in her prep school drools over.

But just as she receives her long-awaited debutante invitation, scandal strikes her family. Now Rachael has to go to public high school and live with her Aunt Margaret in a place called Fruitville. How much more redneck could it get? The first day, as she’s cooling off from the heat, she hears a soft “ahem” and looks up into the eyes of Travis Baxter, the most handsome cowboy she’s ever seen. His smirk is bad enough. Worse, they’re now neighbors and will attend the same school.

As Rachael plunges into redneck life in rural Florida, she’s charmed by a quirky new group of friends, including Travis’s twin, Maysie, but still misses her friends back home. Can Rachael and Colten survive on once-a-month visits? Or will Travis’s cowboy charms win her over? What she learns as a Redneck Debutante will teach her more about love and life than she could ever have dreamed.

The REDNECK DEBUTANTE Series
Romance that’s a little bit city, a little bit country.

Book Takeaway:

My hope is that anyone who reads this series will enjoy the adventure while learning about love, true friendship and forgiveness as well!

Why the author wrote this book:

I first started writing in 2010. Becoming an author wasn’t something I had ever planned on doing. In all honesty I had received mostly B’s and C’s on any high school or college paper I had ever attempted- and yes- even one D. Then one day in 2003, shortly after the birth of our first son, I received a calling to write. I stubbornly ignored that calling for six long years. By then, my husband and I found ourselves facing a layoff and all the uncertainty that comes with it. I prayed on our problems and realized just how disobedient I had been. I marched upstairs and began penning Redneck Debutante, originally a 107k word novel that would later become a series. Here I am just a few years later a published author!
God is good and I’m so thankful that I finally listened to his calling!
