Description
Katherine Galloway is two years divorced and still living out of boxes. She's in her girl cave, as her best friend says. Between her brothers, both cops that work with her ex, and her mother's constant reminders that her clock is ticking, Kate is trying to hold it all together. But the truth is, her four-year-old niece, the one with the sippy cup, is more together. Except at work, when Kate is working, which is all the time these days, she's a PR dynamo. There's nothing she can't handle, or at least that's what she thinks. Grady Malendar is the only son of California State Senator, Patrick Malendar, and no one lets him forget it, least of all his father's campaign. The senator is running for re-election and needs Grady's help with the youth vote. They say they need him, but what they really want is New and Improved Grady, so they hire a PR firm. Grady is willing to participate in the dog and pony show, so long as everything stays on the surface. He agrees to behave, shake hands, but he's not up for sharing his real life with anyone, especially not his snoopy new "babysitter," Kate Galloway.Somewhere between campaign stops and fundraisers, Kate and Grady discover that neither of them are what they appear to be on the surface. Tensions grow until there is no denying they are falling in love behind the scenes of a façade they both need to keep in place. Will scandal, old wounds, and secrets tear them apart, or will Kate and Grady realize, despite appearances, they both really are candidates for love?
