When making it to congress means faking a marriage… fake it til’ you make it takes on a whole new meaning.
Apparently, the conservative mid-western voters want more than my brains, connections, and good looks to vote me in as a congressman.
I thought I had it all, but missed one glaring requirement: a wife to make me look like the all-American family man Kansas wants.
The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She’s a wholesome small-town girl, and conveniently 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.
We both win, right?
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.
(Running Mate was previously published as A Love Unexpected). Trigger warning... this work of fiction contains themes of grieving the loss of a military family member. It also contains mild language and references to alcohol.
What people are saying:
★★★★★
I gorged this book and found it absolutely tasteful and so sweet that it made me tear up multiple occasions. The author knows how to pull at your heartstrings and create a story that makes you swoon. Not only the romance but plenty of humor was sprouted throughout that left me smiling.
-Chelsea @chelsealovestoread, Bookstagrammer.
★★★★★
The sweetest marriage of convenience love story I have ever read! So many emotions packed into a whirlwind love story. Madden and Odette were fantastic characters. Tons of funny, witty one liners and amazing sparks and chemistry between the couple. Don't miss this one!
-Katie Bailey, author of The Roommate Situation.
★★★★★
This book is Leah's debut novel and after reading it I know that she will become an auto-buy author for me. I absolutely loved this book. I laughed, I cried, I squealed. Everything, all of the emotions. It was fantastic.
