#3) Bad weather

#2) Bad breath

and the #1 sign that your day is going to just plain stink

Bad hair

Jolene Hadley Corbett believes in the power of a good hair day, but on a bad hair day terrible things happen -- men run off, cars break down, and the skies open up all over your new favorite outfit. So when Ry O'Malley comes riding back into the town of Verbena, North Carolina, Jolene immediately checks the mirror. Yep, just as she suspects -- bad hair!

The O'Malley heir apparent -- taller, handsomer and a lot sexier than anyone remembers -- is determined to knock the whole town on its ear by demolishing his inheritance: the South Winds Trav'O'Tel and All Day Breakfast Buffet. Okay, so it's not a luxury resort, but its destruction would wreck the local economy...not to mention that antacid sales at the drugstore would probably drop considerably.

Jolene's not about to let a man who once pulled off the top of her bathing suit (okay, even though she was fourteen and she was in the pool) get away with this. So she gears up for the final chapter of the long-running O'Malley-Hadley feud. But first, she's got to find that can of hairspray...
