Summary

A political golden boy and the woman of his dreams take the risk of their lives in a sexy romantic comedy of strange bedfellows and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne.

Fresh off being named Citizen magazine's Man of the Year, New York City's youngest mayor, Robert Davenport, decides it's time to strategize. Next move: a bid for the governor's seat. In his way: an incumbent with a flawless reputation. He also has an Achilles' heel: an estranged wild-child daughter with a past so scandalous it could be Robert's ticket to victory. And a charm so irresistible it could be Robert's downfall.

Rebellion is a thing of the past for Adeline Blake. As New York's premier event planner, she's all about reform and respectability. Then she's approached by Robert to organize the party of the season. Curious, considering he's her father's most formidable opponent. And alarming, too. Because Addie can't help but fall for the righteously popular candidate with the movie-star smile.

Now it's Robert's choice. Does he pursue a future that holds his legacy? Or the woman who holds his heart?

Publisher's Weekly Review

Layne (Marriage on Madison Avenue) opens the Man of the Year series with a charming, fluffy political romance set in an idealized New York City occupied exclusively by the rich and powerful. Charismatic Robert Davenport, the youngest-ever N.Y.C. mayor, plans to run for governor once his term is up. When Robert's campaign manager, Martin Tillman, suggests that he cozy up to the incumbent governor's daughter, Adeline Blake, in an attempt to gather campaign dirt, Robert refuses. But when Martin hires Addie to plan Robert's mayoral farewell party, Robert can't help but grow intrigued by the former wild socialite who now runs a successful event planning business. Wary of politics because of her terrible relationship with her father, Addie reluctantly agrees to work the event, swayed by Robert's charm. As Robert and Addie grow closer, they contend with the paparazzi that follow Robert's every move and wrestle with how much to trust one another with political secrets, but their path forward is surprisingly smooth and drama-free. What this quick, enjoyable romance lacks in conflict it makes up for in chemistry. Agent: Nicole Rescinti, The Seymour Agency. (Mar.)
