Large Print Edition | Chicago Stars Series

Extended Synopsis

Dean Robillard, the star quarterback for the Chicago Stars, appears to have it all: NFL fame, a billboard-ready physique, and a lifestyle in the "glory lane." Yet, feeling a profound sense of emptiness, he embarks on a cross-country road trip to reassess his gilded life. His journey takes a sharp turn on a lonely Colorado highway when he encounters Blue Bailey—a petite, tough-as-nails portrait artist wearing a beaver suit and nursing a plan for revenge against her ex-boyfriend.

What begins as a convenient ride in an expensive sports car evolves into a complex entanglement at Dean’s summer home. Blue, who refuses to stay in one place, finds herself challenged by a man who is far more than the "brainless jock" she initially imagined. As their lives intertwine with a cast of colorful characters—including an aging rock star, a woman reconciling with her past, and an eleven-year-old in search of a family—Dean and Blue must decide if they are willing to stop running and fight for a chance to have it all. Natural Born Charmer is a heartwarming exploration of leaving the past behind and discovering a true sense of home.
