Running Mate
(2021)(A Love Unexpected)
(The first book in the Under Kansas Skies series)A novel by Leah Brunner
When making it to congress means faking a marriage… fake it til’ you make it takes on a whole new meaning.
Apparently, conservative mid western voters want more than my brains, connections and good looks to vote me in as a congressman.That’s right, to appear as the all-American family man they want… I need a wife. ASAP.
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 way too distracting.
I have to keep my eye on the prize.
Because there might be something I want more than a seat in congress.
(Running Mate was previously published as A Love Unexpected). Trigger warning... this work of fiction contains themes of grieving the loss of a military family member. It also contains mild language and references to alcohol.

I gorged this book and found it absolutely tasteful and so sweet that it made me tear up multiple occasions. The author knows how to pull at your heartstrings and create a story that makes you swoon. Not only the romance but plenty of humor was sprouted throughout that left me smiling.

The sweetest marriage of convenience love story I have ever read! So many emotions packed into a whirlwind love story. Madden and Odette were fantastic characters. Tons of funny, witty one liners and amazing sparks and chemistry between the couple. Don't miss this one!
