THE FINAL CHAPTER FOR ANASTASIA DeMARS

Anastasia DeMars is a successful model enjoying the perks of fame until a humiliating encounter with a Texas sheriff is captured on video and goes viral. The laughingstock of late night TV, Anastasia is sentenced to community service in small town Pleasant, Texas, where cowboys outnumber red carpets and music is the tie that binds this eclectic community together.

Always quick with a sarcastic remark, Anastasia gets off on the wrong foot with the staff at The Watering Hole where she must serve her sentence. Forced to abandon the runway for kitchen duty, her disdain for all things unsophisticated is obvious. The absence of a nearby Neiman Marcus is reason enough to panic! But as the people of Pleasant wrap her in their warm embrace, Anastasia discovers she is more than just a pretty face.

The Watering Hole attracts some of the best musicians in the business, and Anastasia’s relationship with fame shifts as she witnesses both sides of that two-edged sword. Money, notoriety, and opportunity beckon when Anastasia’s assignment ends. But Pleasant has gotten under her skin; can a publicity hungry diva find joy without courting followers and paparazzi?
