Overview

""If you like to laugh this is a must-read."" - Richie's Reviews A bumbling female politician has a secret craving. The boyish reporter bent on exposing it could be her next victim. Five years after her shocking re-election defeat, ex-governor Patty Pitypander is still sulking in her California mansion, bingeing on romance novels, and ogling her pool boy, when she is urgently drafted to run for president. Setting her hurt feelings aside to save America, Patty takes on her rival's smear tactics, a global plot to entrap her worthless billionaire husband, and the most dangerous foe of all: her special fondness for young men. When a naïve rookie reporter pursues rumors of a scandal in Patty's past, he unintentionally arouses her desire. The closer he gets to uncovering her misdeeds, the more madly infatuated she becomes, even as she schemes to thwart his search. The crafty heroine of Patty's novels appears in a vision, claiming to be an expert on young men. Prodded into action, the befuddled pol risks her lifelong dream of winning the White House, waging two hopelessly conflicted campaigns--one for power, the other for passion. Can Patty win both? Does she dare?
