title: Beauty and the Geek
author: Johannesen, I.R.
description: After catching her fiancée cheating, top shot lawyer Fox Morgan flees Sydney and returns to her hometown of Noosa after a 12 year absence. While she is back home in Noosa she is planning on catching up with her mother, Pearl, and rekindling a 13 year friendship with her once best-friend, Weed Cooper, who she has not seen in 12 years. But when she finally meets up with Weed over lunch she discovers that a lot has changed since they last hung out together as best friends. Like her, Weed is all grown up and has lost his geekiness. What's more he now prefers to be called by his given name, Wade, rather than Weed. Will they be able to rekindle their friendship after such a long time apart or will it take an entirely new direction?
