WHAT’S ONE ITSY, BITSY, LITTLE LIE?
Cassian Anders will be the youngest
governor in Illinois history... If he wins.
That’s all everyone seems to talk
about these days. Jolie Coldwell isn’t one of them. As a journalist, her
priorities comprise digging up dirt on crooked politicians and local cover-ups.
When her latest exposé on a congressman lands her in hot water, her days are
reduced to covering the senior center’s casino night.
Unexpectedly, news breaks: the on-air
investigative segment needs a replacement. This promotion advance could her
career.
She needs a breaking story. She needs
it now.
The road to office is ruthless
compared to the courtroom. Without warning, Cassian Anders’ popularity rating
falls, threatening his position on the ballot. He will do whatever it means to
secure votes. Now, not only is he engaged, but he’s getting married to his
non-existent fiancée...
He’s never relied on luck, but when a
convenient but unorthodox wife falls into his lap? He makes her a deal.
He needs a wife. He needs it now.
Will Jolie and Cassian be able to
fool the public long enough? Can she handle the public poking around in her
past, one she would rather keep under wraps... Above all, can she be a model
first lady or are they destined to be a scandal?
THE LAST-MINUTE FIRST LADY IS A STEAMY MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE ROMANCE. PERFECT FOR READERS
WHO LOVE OUTRAGEOUS IN-LAWS, HONEYMOONS TO NAPA VALLEY, AND CROOKED
POLITICIANS. THIS NOVEL CONTAINS CURSING AND SEX SCENES, AND INTENDED FOR
AUDIENCES 18 YEARS AND OLDER.
Excerpt:
“You wanna know why I am running for governor?” he began.
“I’ve sat. Watched. Defended in the courtroom, the very people this state is
supposed to protect. I’ve been in the trenches with you all.” He pointed
to the crowd. “I’ve seen the disadvantages in working-class neighborhoods
compared to the elite on the Gold Coast and Millionaire’s Row. I’ve seen
families struggling to make ends meet, and youth struggle to stay out of street
violence.”
Cassian paused for a second.
“Everything we care about is under siege by Governor William
Radcliffe.” The crowd booed. “Our very identities do not fit in the governor’s
plan, nor will they ever. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago. Englewood. Chicago’s
murder capital. I’ve experienced poverty and crime, and I know the beauty
there. I see amazing potential if we were to invest in the people there, not
ignore them like Governor Radcliffe has.”
A calm, collected
feeling rolled over Cassian’s body, obliterating the nervousness he’d felt. The
crowd watched him with anticipation. It thrilled him. Fueled him.
The crowd roared.
“Illinois is losing jobs and opportunities. Creative minds.
The fiber of our communities. If we continue to let Governor Radcliffe lead,
there won’t be a state for us to call home.”
Cassian looked down in the crowd. He shouldn’t have noticed,
but he did.
In the center of the room, he spotted a woman. A beautiful woman.
As they locked eyes, he recognized her. Jolie Coldwell. He couldn’t
forget the fierce reporter.
He observed at her closely, his practiced speech faltering.
She wore a pure white, double-breasted blazer dress. From his position on
stage, he could see it stopped mid-thigh, showing off the sexy, thick brown
thighs. The dress wrapped around her curvy silhouette with decorative button
details down the front that led up to her tasteful cleavage.
Jolie lifted her chin, meeting his gaze straight on, a small
smirk on her lips. That’s when he realized he had stopped talking. Clearing his
throat, he returned her steady gaze, and something intense flared through him.
“I’m not here to only make history. I’m here because I love
the people of this state. I want to remind everyone We Are The Change.”
