Description

This is a story about two big egos with clashing agendas . A career-centered College Girl and the local Sheriff duke it out to see whose "bird perch" will be first to grace the Courthouse Lawn . Like a Princess-kissed Frog in the fairy tale, Brad Bonner, a hometown jock that flunked his SAT test, is drawn into the bare knuckles brawl by the sexy, overachieving girl and darn near gets himself killed three times in "Her Royal Service" . It's all settled by a Catch 22 battle between two National Guard Units that puts the Governor in the Guinness Book of Records and creates another shameful "Point of Interest" for Arkansas tourists to gawk at.
