In high school, Wade Armstrong had been half in love with Edie Brand, even though she barely seemed to notice his existence. Like the rest of this town, she thought him beneath her. That was how it seemed to him, anyway. But he’d grown up determined to prove them wrong, and now he owned a successful garage which was wallpapered with Edie Brand’s photo spreads from the Vanessa’s Whisper lingerie … lingerie catalogue.
In high school, Edie Brand had been afraid to even look at Wade Armstrong. He was too hot, to smooth, and his reputation of being able to get any girl to say yes on the first date scared the daylights out of her. Now, though, a bad boy is what she needs. She’s back in town, driven out of L.A. and her lucrative modeling career by a crazed stalker who nearly killed her once. And who seems to have followed her home.
The attraction between these two burns them both, while a dangerous admirer watches, and grows angrier.

“Brand New Heartache (The Oklahoma Brands #2) by Maggie Shayne is book 2 in this series. As much as I loved the 1st book in this series I loved Edain Brand aka Edie’s story even more. Edie comes back to town when her older sister gives birth to twins and gets married. She is no longer interested in being in L.A. and posing for a famous lingerie company. Bad boy Wade Armstrong made a name for himself since High school and is now no longer the source of whispers in the community. When a stalker follows Edie to her hometown she finds herself relying on Wade more than she first wanted. This book is a definite page turner. I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning because characters from each book will be brought into other stories in this series.
