The Summer I Turned Heads (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199162647)

Chanel Baptiste is done being overlooked.

After one brutal day at her dead-end call center job, she buys a lottery ticket on pure frustration, half a prayer, and the kind of delusion a woman needs when rent is due and her ex is outside embarrassing her online.

Then the numbers hit.

Suddenly, Chanel has money, options, and one very specific plan: become the woman she has been dreaming about.

The body? Bought.

The face card? Upgraded.

The job? Quit.

The old life? Blocked.

Welcome to Chanel Reign.

With a luxury apartment, a new car, a body that makes rooms go quiet, and followers watching her every move, Chanel becomes the summer's newest soft-life obsession. Men want her. Women study her. Brands circle her. Her ex wants back in. Everybody has an opinion, a request, or a hand out.

And Chanel is eating it up.

But pretty costs.

The money starts moving fast. The attention gets weird. Her best friend is acting funny. Her mother keeps asking questions Chanel doesn't want to answer. Then DeVaughn Pierce enters the picture: rich, polished, powerful, and exactly the kind of man who could keep Chanel's new life shining.

The more Chanel becomes Chanel Reign, the more her old life starts bleeding through.

Strange messages. Missing time. A lottery ticket that never stays where she left it. A surgeon who seems to know too much. An ex who keeps hinting at a night Chanel can barely remember.

Chanel wanted a summer that turned heads.

Now somebody is watching too closely.

The Summer I Turned Heads is an upbeat, twisty urban drama with soft-life fantasy, beauty, money, betrayal, and a slow-burn mystery hiding under the glam.
