What do you get when you cross a tomboy from Arkansas with a rich city boy from Texas? Mayhem. When Lily Watson learns that Bryce King, a handsome, rich businessman from Texas has purchased her father's construction business, she wants nothing to do with her new boss. Still feeling burnt from her lying ex-husband, and convinced a rich city boy could be nothing but trouble (even if he is handsome and good at golf), Lily tries her best to avoid Bryce when he shows up in Arkansas to investigate his new company. Things go quickly downhill for Lily when her ex-husband turns up dead and she is forced to turn to Bryce for help in resolving the murder and clearing her father, the prime suspect. Can Bryce help her? Will he help her? And is Bryce really a big city nightmare or her night in shining armor? Edited and updated, My Own Worst Nightmare is the official published version of an Internet hit that has been read over 600,000 times.
