Elizabeth never expected to fall for a politician, but fate has other plans. As one of Kentucky’s top attorneys, she’s focused on her career and has little time for love. But when a case of mistaken identity leads her to meet the state’s governor, she can’t deny the sparks that fly between them.
Despite their initial crazy start, Elizabeth and the governor can’t seem to stay away from each other. They keep running into each other at events and the First Daughter keeps finding ways to bring them together. Elizabeth never thought she could fall in love, but this unexpected romance is making her question everything she thought she knew about herself.
Meanwhile, Corrie and Clay are still carrying on their secret affair, even as they pretend to be estranged in public. They’ve found a new place to meet, away from prying eyes, and their passion for each other is stronger than ever.
As Elizabeth and the governor’s relationship heats up, Corrie and Clay’s secret affair becomes more complicated. They know they can’t keep their love hidden forever, but they also can’t bear the thought of going public and facing the judgment of those around them.
Will Elizabeth and the governor’s romance be able to withstand the pressures of his high-profile job and her demanding career? And will Corrie and Clay ever be able to be together openly, or will they continue to hide their love forever?
