Beauty and the Mustache

Description

Former beauty queen Ashley Winston has built a life far from her Tennessee hometown, using distance—and a healthy dose of escapism—to avoid the family and memories she left behind. When circumstances draw her back, she is forced to confront her complicated past, her unconventional family, and Drew Runous, a deeply sensitive, gentle, and remarkably well-read man whose quiet strength challenges her assumptions. Blending sharp wit, heartfelt romance, and memorable family dynamics, this novel explores vulnerability, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to come home. Penny Reid’s signature humor and emotional insight make this a tender, captivating story about finding connection in unexpected places.
