Synopsis

How can you find love when the whole world is watching?

High-flying pediatric surgeon Emily Lawrence is new to Washington DC. Her first week in her new job puts her on a collision course with the most powerful woman in America, President Calvin.

Constance "Connie" Calvin's first term is proving turbulent thanks to trying to juggle work and life as a widowed single mother to a twelve-year-old boy. Running for re-election is imminent, and the critics are gunning for her. Worse, her famed icy cool is in danger of melting in the face of Emily's passion, commitment, and charm.

Admitting the rising sexual tension between the women is just the start. How can they act on it while in the public glare? Giving into temptation comes with such risk. In a world that lives and dies on opinion polls, what will the country make of them?

A charged, age-gap, lesbian romance that puts the power in power couple.

Contains mature themes.

4.25 ⭐️ Bravo Loola Keeley and Ylva Publishing for the new version of this book. The effort was well worth it. I am also one of the readers who criticized the too-great similarity to the movie "The American President", my problem was that it was not clearly declared as fanfiction or homage to the mov......more

Another hit from Lola Keeley! It was exactly the romance book I needed. Emily Lawrence (32) is an intelligent, passionate, and strong-willed lobbyist who is fighting to save the environment. Constance “Connie” Calvin (51) is successful, charming, and is also the current president of the United States......more

Since I have never seen the film, I decided to read P......more
