SYNOPSIS
Madeline, Avery and Nicole are very different from one another. Madeline is a homemaker coping with an
empty nest and an unemployed husband. Avery is an architect. At least she was until she ended up as the sidekick on
her ex-husband's television program - the one she created, sold and co-hosted. Nicole, dating guru, matchmaker
extraordinaire and founder of Heart, Inc., is living in the shadow of her biggest mistake - trusting her only brother. All
are at the end of their financial ropes, the victim's of a Bernie Madoff-style Ponzi scheme. All they have left is shared
ownership of the once-glorious Bella Flora mansion, now a beachfront ruin. Madeline, Avery and Nikki have to make a choice - cut their losses and sell the historic property for whatever amount of money they can get or trade sweat equity for the backing of a local contractor in order to restore it and their bank accounts. The women choose to save Bella Flora. There amidst the rubble and former glory, in the midst of a sweltering summer and the backbreaking tasks of renovation, they begin to redefine themselves, and to discover their own strength and the power of friendship. Then, as Bella Flora again stands magnificent and proud, secrets begin to pull them apart and fate steps in once more, ready to destroy everything they've built.
Wendy Wax is the author of eight novels including Magnolia Wednesdays and The Accidental Bestseller. Ocean Beach, the sequel to Ten Beach Road, is coming soon. www.authorwendywax.com

SYNOPSIS
Southern Girl Minty Davenport has always dreamed of skyscrapers, yellow cabs, and a life like Eloise's in New York City. So upon graduation from college, she bids adieu to Charleston and makes a beeline for the Big Apple. Almost instantly, she finds herself at an event being photographed for Women's Wear Daily, and her career as a New York society "It Girl" is launched. As Minty navigates the ironclad customs of New York society, a blossoming love life, and a job working for a ruthless and powerful publicist, she finds that the rules a southern belle lives by - being nice to everyone, accentuating her femininity, and minding her manners - don't necessarily guarantee success in Manhattan. She may indeed be accumulating new friends and opportunities along with boldfaced mentions and a very eligible bachelor boyfriend, but someone is plotting her very public downfall. When Minty gets to the top of the social ladder, she must decide if the glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything she hoped it would be.
Southern Charm (Simon & Schuster) is the debut novel from socialite and style icon Tinsley Mortimer. Like her main character Minty Davenport, Tinsley is a Southern girl who made it big on the New York social scene. She's been featured in the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Marie Claire, appeared on shows like Gossip Girl and America's Next Top Model, and served as a beauty ambassador for Christian Dior.
