There's a scandal brewing in Washington... Knox
Hamilton wants his father’s recently vacated Senate seat, but the only
way his conservative constituents are going to vote for Knox is if he
loses his playboy reputation. Which means Knox needs a wife. There’s
only one woman with whom he's willing to share his life, but after the
way he broke things off with her, will she give him another chance? Chloe
Lochlan's job is on the line. If she doesn't grab a big headline,

social events rarely granted to media, access that could land her the
story of a lifetime. When the truth she uncovers threatens to destroy
the man she still loves, will she bury the story...or his career? Views: 15
