    Love At A Beauty Pageant
    Ralph is your average everyday guy. He's not special or witty or anything like that. One day at a beauty pageant he meets a beautiful woman. She takes him on a wild ride of fun and excitement that leaves him hungry for more, but she has a secret. One that will leave Ralph angry and alone. This is a short novel about love found in the strangest of places and the loss it sometimes entails.
