Rosie DeWitt is a well-respected political consultant,
known for her witty remarks and keen intuitive abilities to
get to the heart of the matter where politics are
concerned. Fiercely independent, Rosie has also managed to
keep her precocious five-year-old son, Casey, and her
secret about his father out of the limelight. A tough job
to pull off given the media spotlight on politics, but she
had succeeded so far.
Now, the opportunity of the lifetime comes along that will
make her political career, but will it be the unmaking of
her carefully concealed private live? No one says "No"
when Vivian McCloud comes calling and she is keen to have
Rosie be Hudson's, her only surviving son, campaign manager.
The flash of the camera and the sight of newshound Amy
Furokawa's crew quickly lets Rosie know that all the
animals aren't in the zoo cages. With a clever trick and a
twenty-dollar bill, she is able to spirit Casey and Hudson
away from Amy's relentless probings, but how long can she
continue to hold her finger in the cracking dam? Once her
secret is out and the dam is burst, she knows that she will
never be able to work in politics again. And sure as she
knows politics, once Hudson learns of her secret, she
realizes that that the fallout of this dam burst will douse
any flames of romance and knock her career off the rails.
Rosie knows she has no choice but to resign and leave him
forever, but will that be enough?
Melinda Curtis has crafted a fast paced and intriguing plot
with two very strong willed Type A people, both intent on
having their own way. Set against the political backdrop of
a San Francisco mayoralty race, you will delight in the
twists of fate and political maneuverings that emerge from
this romantic power struggle and battle of wills. I was
also pleased to learn that some of the secondary
characters, terrific in their own right, will have center
stage in Curtis' next book. A word of caution: Just be very
careful reading this book on the bus or subway. I missed
my stop twice as the story is just too engrossing and I
should have learned after the first time! Enjoy!

As the campaign heats up, Rosie discovers she's falling for
