Running Mate — Leah Brunner

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 formerly published as A Love Unexpected. This is Book 1 in the Under Kansas Skies series. Running mate is a closed-door romance and can be read as a stand-alone.
