My one and only goal has always been to make it to congress. I’ve got it all: the looks, the brains, the connections… Except I missed one glaring requirement: a wife.
The conservative voters of Kansas don’t trust an unmarried man. Which means I need a bride. Immediately.
The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She’s a wholesome small-town girl, and most importantly, in need of cash. I’ll give her the money to take care of her elderly parents, and she’ll be the political arm candy I need.
The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and much too distracting. I have to keep my eye on the prize. Even when I’m starting to think there might be something I’d rather have more…

Enjoy this peek inside:
I have to ruin the moment. I have to announce my campaign next month, and I still need a wife to help my chances of winning this election. It’s now or never.
I rub my sweaty palms down the front of my jeans. “So… there’s actually something I need to talk to you about. It’s going to sound completely insane, so I don’t want you to answer right away. Take some time to think about it first. But not too much time because, well, I need to announce my campaign next month…” I trail off, feeling hopelessly stupid.
She takes a step back and I watch her defenses go up. She twirls her hair again. “Okay. What is it?”
I swallow nervously. “You said you wanted to help my campaign–and I do need your help–but I can’t continue without… This is going to sound insane, I know, but I have no chance of success if I’m not…well, if I’m not married.”

Delightful, unique, creative and captivating story. Love the cover. So talented.
When I think of Kansas City, I think of cattle and steakhouses. Sounds like a great book.
Thank you for reading! 💗💗
Pretty cover
When I think of Kansas I think of the Wizard of Oz!
When I think of Kansas I think of the Wizard of Oz.
Kansas reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, “Auntie Em, Auntie Em!”. This does sound like a fun romance novel.
