Publisher Comments:

Welcome to Salt Lick, Texas, home of big hair,

big ranches, and two of the biggest busybodies ever

to wield a blow-dryer—Debbie Sue and Edwina,

also known as the Domestic Equalizers. Their motto:

Don't run over him—get over him! Their mission:

Track down and expose your straying man. And they

won't stop until female domestic justice is served.

Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin have never encountered a problem that couldn't be fixed with a strong margarita, a whole lot of hairspray, and an ear for gossip. They've learned that you'll only find a straying spouse—or solve a crime—by keeping your senses alert. After all, every red-blooded Texas woman knows ears are more than just a place to hang your diamond earrings!

Newcomers stand out in Salt Lick like a preacher in a liquor store, and all ears—and eyes—are on Paige McBride and Spur Atwater. Paige arrived in town with nothing more than two hundred dollars in her pocket and a Cadillac SUV packed with designer clothes. Her oil-rich daddy has cut her off without a penny and now it's time for her to get one of those real jobs.

The Domestic Equalizers know that Paige and her Barbie-doll looks are gonna stir things up. Soon every cowboy, trucker, and even one of Debbie Sue's ex-boyfriends, a rodeo star, is knocking on Paige's door. And, at just about the time she turns up to start her job tending the best cutting horses in Texas, the horses start disappearing from all the local ranches.

Paige discovers she actually likes her work. After all, horses are more loyal than most men. But she doesn't like Spur, the new town veterinarian. Besides being movie-star good-looking, Spur's an ex–football star. Women of all ages love the new vet, and suddenly, more cats and dogs are getting sick than ever before.

Working on the ranch means Paige can't avoid the man, and all those disappearing horses bring her together with the Domestic Equalizers. Edwina and Debbie Sue think that Spur and Paige make the cutest couple—whether they're too bull-headed to realize it or not. But finding themselves knee-deep in the muck of a horse-thievin' and husband-cheatin' escapade is a whole other issue. No doubt about it, hearts are definitely going to get broken, but if these gals have anything to do with it, the hairstyles around town are still gonna look great!

Synopsis:

This is smart, sassy fiction with some terrific Texas humour. With a fantastic set of characters, including the best set of trouble makin' gal pals since Lucy and Ethel, this book is bound to capture female readers of all ages!

When we last saw Debbie Sue Overstreet and her pal Edwina they were running the Stylin' Station hair salon and their detective agency the DOMESTIC EQUALIZERS. For them, there's no heartbreak that a little hairspray and a little poking around can't solve. But when Paige McBride comes to town (Paige is a little spoiled and a whole lotta rich), trouble follows. Horses start disappearing, and to make matters worse, local vet Spur Atwater is the object of Paige's desires.

Hair will be styled, horses lost and found, casseroles will burn, and justice will come to all who break the law. But not before Debbie Sue and Edwina get themselves, and Paige, into a whole lotta trouble.

Synopsis:

As a new horse handler for the Flying C Ranch, Page McBride is thrown in the company of hunky vet Spur Atwater. When horses start disappearing, it's time for Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin--who believe most problems can be solved with an ear for gossip, a strong margarita, and a lot of hairspray--to come to the rescue of not only the horses, but the couple.

Fun, frivolous and feisty, Southern chick lit always focuses on scrappy women refusing to sit back and take s**t, getting on with their lives even when -- yes -- their hearts are breaking. That's what Texas hairdressers/sleuths Edwina and Debbie Sue help Paige accomplish in this tale of heiresses, horse-napping and hijinks. Dixie Cash doesn't write serious literature, but the sisters behind the pen name (Pamela Cumbie & Jeffery McClanahan) create fun reads that help feisty ladies, Southern or otherwise, get through the rough patches of life.
