Vixen by Jillian Larkin
Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.

Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun ... or are they?
 
Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden.... 
 
Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry.... 
 
From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties ... when anything goes.

I just found out about this novel by searching for upcoming titles on B&N.com in hopes of finding one to blog about today. I've always been fascinated by the 20's; the flappers, prohibition, Al Capone, the suffrage movement... So many incredible (whether good or bad) things happened during that time. I'm looking forward to seeing - er, reading - about this author's take on that time period and how she'll navigate it. 

Vixen hits shelves near you on December 14 of this year!
