When a woman doesn't know what on earth she's gotten herself into, there could be the devil to paly when she finds out. Barbara Chessner learns that lesson the hard way in this wickedjy delightful növel where the asking price for success is her body—and her soul
A real estate agent in South Florida's discreetly posh Bánjon Beach, Barbara is down on her luck, up several dress sizes, drowning herself in Bloody Maijs—and, worst of all, has just been dumped by her husband for a blonde TV weatherperson. Tired of living the life of a woman in a "before" ad, Barbara stumbles outside in the midst of a thunderstorm and beseeches heaven to help her—unaware that someone diabolical might be listening.

When a woman doesn't know what on earth she's gotten herself into, there could be the devil to paly when she finds out. Barbara Chessner learns that lesson the hard way in this wickedjy delightful növel where the asking price for success is her body—and her soul
A real estate agent in South Florida's discreetly posh Bánjon Beach, Barbara is down on her luck, up several dress sizes, drowning herself in Bloody Maijs—and, worst of all, has just been dumped by her husband for a blonde TV weatherperson. Tired of living the life of a woman in a "before" ad, Barbara stumbles outside in the midst of a thunderstorm and beseeches heaven to help her—unaware that someone diabolical might be listening. Instantly, the storm vanishes and the sky fiIIs with stars, one of which actually seems to be winking at her.
Instead of a hangover the next morning, Barbara wakes up with golden hair (not her own premature gray), perfect pitch (she's tone deaf), a strange black dog (registered to her), no double chin, a waistline and definite cleavage! Talk about a good night's sleep! So what could be wrong with going to bed looking like Barbara Chessner and waking up looking like Heather Locklear? As it turns out, plenty!
(continued from front flap)
Suddenly, bizarre things begin to happen. Without any effort, Barbara sells the least appealing house in Banyon Beach to Dávid Bettinger, the most appealing man she's ever met. Without any reason, Jeremy Cook, a crude charter-boat captain who has detested her since high school, starts paying her compliments. And without anly explanation on earth, eveiything she wishes for comes true.
As Dávid Bettinger becomes passionate, Jeremy becomes jealous, and Barbara becomes a major babe—everyone becomes suspicious. Her friends at the Home Sweet Home agency attribute the inexplicable to everything from hot flashes to dark forces. Not even Barbara knows what the devil is going on. But' when she finds out, all hell is going to break loose
Leave it to Jane Heller to create a heroine who thinks she's losing her mind without ever losing her sense of humor—and to write a növel of hot pursuits and other-worldty pleasures that's sinfully sensational!
