About the book

Daisy Minor is a plain librarian in a small Alabama town who decides to overhaul her life on her thirty-fourth birthday. She adopts a glamorous persona to find a husband, but her transformation inadvertently makes her a witness to a high-profile murder. While navigating a new dating scene, she becomes the target of a professional killer. Local police chief Jack Fairmont finds himself tasked with protecting her, despite his initial irritation with her sudden personality change. The plot centers on their survival as they flee from assassins through the rural Southern landscape.

This book is for readers who enjoy romantic suspense centered on character transformations and small-town dynamics. It appeals to those looking for a balance between lighthearted humor and life-threatening stakes. Readers walk away with a story about personal agency and the tension generated when suburban life intersects with organized crime. It serves as a study in how an ordinary person handles the shift from a predictable routine to a situation requiring physical grit and quick thinking.
