Sweet Victory: A Romantic Comedy - Paperback

by Beverley Watts (Author)

Victory Shackleford thought winning Hollywood's golden boy was the hard part. She was wrong.
Fresh off her fairy-tale romance with A-list actor Noah Westbrook, Tory discovers that life with the most famous man on earth comes with a price tag she never expected. Paparazzi camp outside her Dartmouth home, tabloids dissect her every outfit choice, and suddenly her perfectly imperfect life is front-page news.

But when the media vultures uncover a secret that could not only land her madcap, irresponsible father in jail, but completely wreck Noah's acting career -Tory faces her most impossible choice yet.

As scandal threatens to tear apart everything she holds dear, Tory must decide what victory really means. Because sometimes the biggest battles aren't fought in the spotlight-they're fought in the shadows of the heart.

The stakes have never been higher, and not all fairy tales have a happy ending...

Sweet Victory delivers all the hilarity, warmth, and emotional depth that made readers fall for the Shackleford family, with a romantic cliffhanger that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Beth O'Leary.

Author Biography

Beverley and her husband divide their time between a large flat overlooking the sea on the beautiful English Riviera (where it's generally warm and wet) and an officer's cabin on the west coast of Scotland (where it's cold and wet). Between them they have 3 children (2 grown up) and a menagerie of animals including 2 dogs (an Irish terrier called Nelson, plus a neurotic 'Chorkie' named Pepé) and two cats called Dillon and Honey. Beverley spent 8 years teaching English as a Foreign Language to International Military Students in Britannia Royal Naval College which is the premier officer training establishment for the Royal Navy in the UK. She says that in the whole 8 years there was never a dull moment and many of her wonderful experiences at the College were not only memorable but were most definitely 'the stuff of fiction' An avid reader and writer since childhood, she always determined that on leaving she would write a book... Beverley is currently writing a series of romantic comedies entitled The Dartmouth Diaries. Claiming Victory - Book One, and Sweet Victory - Book Two, are already available on Amazon. Book Three - All For Victory, is planned for publication sometime in the autumn of 2015.
