In The Fast Lane For Love In Fairlane?
Shop-till-you-drop socialite Amanda Pierpoint is the New York gossip columnist everyone's gossiping about. Trying to please her father, she's almost ready to settle down -- until Pierpoint Sr., the media mogul, goes too far. He's picked her future husband with less thought than he gives to his after-dinner cigar! Obviously it's time to get out of town.
A pair of dark glasses and a dye job later, she's on the run -- to a small dot on the map named Fairlane, where she causes a traffic mishap while ogling "Handsome" Hanson's taut muscles glistening in the noonday sun. Dr. Brett, as the locals call him, has secrets, too -- his precocious daughter, ex-wife and red Corvette are all part of a hush-hush past. But their boardinghouse roomies are looking for intrigue. "Handsome" and Amanda falling for each other? That's perfect!
Of course, when her father arrives with fiance in tow, her cover's blown and the truth comes out. Now what will the publicity-shy doctor do?
