For fans of Lauren Layne and Kristan Higgins comes a delightfully âfun bit of fluffy entertainmentâ (Publishers Weekly) in the first book of a charming new series, in which a young woman is forced to help her old friend revamp his image for the upcoming mayoral elections...and discovers that she might not be as immune to his charms as she once thought.
When Emmanuelle Peroniâs fatherâand current mayor of Hope Lake, Pennsylvaniaâsuggests she help with Cooper Endicottâs campaign, sheâs horrified. Cooper, one of her (former) oldest friends, drives her crazy in every way possible. But heâs also her fatherâs protĂŠgĂŠ, so Emma reluctantly launches her plan to help him win the local election.
Itâs not as easy as it looks. Cooperâs colorful love life is the sticking point for many voters, and his opponent is digging up everything he can from his past. It seems that every time Emma puts out the flames from one scandal, another one flares up. Emma knows that if Cooper wants to win, he needs to keep his nose clean. The only problem? She might just be falling in love with the one person she promised never to pursue: the mayoral candidate himself.
