Music, Magic, and Dancing Naked in Dixie

Music, Magic, and Dancing Naked in Dixie

There's something magical about a favorite song or music that creates a flood of memories whenever you hear the first few notes or the first line of the lyrics.

For Dancing Naked in Dixie, which centers on the first blush of romance for Julia Sullivan and Shug Jordan, I've put together a list of TOP TEN 'love' songs for the Dixie playlist.

First, though, here's the synopsis of the story:

Travel writer Julia Sullivan lives life in fast-forward. She jet sets to Europe and the Caribbean with barely a moment to blink or sleep. But too many mishaps and missed deadlines have Julia on the verge of being fired.

With a stern warning, and unemployment looming, she's offered one last chance to rescue her career. Julia embarks on an unlikely journey to the ‘Heart of Dixie’—Eufaula, Alabama—home to magnificent mansions, sweet tea, and the annual Pilgrimage.

Julia arrives, soon charmed by the lovely city and her handsome host, but her stay is marred by a shocking discovery. Can Julia's story save her career, Eufaula, and the annual Pilgrimage?
