P. E. KAVANAGH (Cont.) CLAIMING POWER BLURB EXCERPT Connor Barrett has built a life based on doing every- thing right. He‟s honest, idealistic, and completely but- toned-up. Continuing his family‟s political legacy is a no- brainer. Next stop…US Senate. Jenna King likes her men tough, tattooed, and as wild as she is. Clean shaves and navy suits hold no appeal. When she ends up working on Connor‟s campaign, all her free spirit gets tucked away to create a professional image. The couple work hand-in-hand without crossing any lines. Until Jenna gets a glimpse of the man underneath the nerdy glasses and crisp, white shirts. And Connor urges her to let her hair down. With the election approaching, right and wrong blur in the power of their connection. In a world where image is everything, the unlikely couple must choose between their principles, their se- crets, and the possibility of having it all. The crowd burst into applause as the generous shot of Tequila slid down her grateful throat. The opening act must have finished and the main guy—the candidate— would be speaking next. Oh, yay. More political speeches about governing this tiny, inconsequential state. The huddled bodies separated just enough for Jenna to see the tall, dark-haired man stride across the stage. Her eyes followed his every move as she became aware of three things. 1. He had terrible taste in clothes. 2. She remembered him from old family photos, run- ning circles in their backyard wearing thick glasses and a bright red cape. 3. That swagger communicated something to her body that she would never have expected. She turned away, slightly disturbed, but couldn‟t keep her eyes off him. That guy was not her type at all. Unless, of course, underneath that baggy blue suit and those nerdy glasses was a wild streak and a back full of tattoos. But the way he owned the stage and captured the crowd woke up several regions of her body. Reviews Welcome 8
