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…
When
I glance over my shoulder, I see her. The mysterious redhead, sitting on a step
on the other side of the wide staircase. She gracefully tosses her wavy red
hair over her shoulder as she rummages through her handbag. When she looks up
she's holding a stick of gum triumphantly.
"Ah,
there you are," She whispers.
"Are
you speaking to your gum?" I ask and she jumps.
She
was so immersed in her search for gum, I don't think she realized anyone else
was outside. She blushes, which is adorable, then looks at me with forest green
eyes.
"Oh,
sorry Madden, I didn't see you there."
Wait,
how does she know me? Surely I would remember meeting this lovely creature.
