Sometimes family isn't enough
When she was only eight years old, Riley O'Brien survived
the unimaginable: the deaths of her mother and sister. As a
result she vowed never to desert her father, a brilliant
young congressman whose star was on the rise. Now, twenty-
one years later, after trading her dreams of a normal life
for his ambitions, Riley stands by her father's side as he
makes a bid for the presidency. Growing up in the political
spotlight, she has become an expert at hiding her feelings
behind the surface of her regal beauty. But her defenses
are about to be shattered.
Investigative reporter Jake Mahoney resents wasting his
time covering an ice princess at a presidential campaign
rally. But when a car bomb throws him--literally--on top of
the candidate's daughter, Jake quickly realizes that Riley
O'Brien is pure fire. No one has ever gotten under his skin
like this before. Their attraction is instant, and possibly
fatal, as dangerous secrets from the past explode into the
present, destroying one life after another in a nightmare
of blind ambition...
