With only a vague memory of the previous night, Teague cringes to think of what he may have done. Risa sheds a little light on the situation. Explaining they met during one of her performances.

There is more to his quickie wedding than he could ever imagine. When the truth comes to light, will Teague and Risa go their separate ways? Sometimes love has a way of sneaking up on you, even when it's the last thing you expect.This is my first time reading a book by Robin Covington and I am hooked!! I enjoyed the characters in this story. Risa has so many layers to her, and was the perfect match for Teague. The friendships, romance, and story plot in Sweet Southern Betrayal makes readers savor the pages from beginning to end. Of course, I loved that the story referenced so many towns in my area! That was quite a plus! I am hooked on Robin Covington, and see a lot of long night reading with my `new' favorite author!!
