FLIRTING WITH DISASTER

First in the Capital Confessions Series about three sisters, one big secret, and a city full of scandals...

Jackie Gardner knows all about dirty little secrets. The illegitimate daughter of one of the Senate’s most powerful figures, she’s grown up in the shadows of D.C. politics, surrounded by other people’s scandals. Her internship at the political consulting firm in Washington has the ability to launch Jackie’s career—as long as she doesn’t screw it up.

William Andrew Clayton was born for politics. He knows the drill: work hard, play discreetly, and at all costs, avoid scandal. At twenty-six, his campaign for the Virginia House of Representatives is the first step to cementing his political future. It’s time for him to settle down, to find the right political spouse. He needs a Jackie Kennedy, not a Marilyn.

When Jackie and Will meet at the bar at the Hay-Adams, sparks fly. But when the hot stranger Jackie goes home with turns out to be a candidate with political ties to her father, what began as fun and casual becomes infinitely more complicated. And when Jackie discovers her internship has her consulting on Will’s campaign, complicated goes out the window.

The more time they spend together, the hotter things become. But the last thing Will needs is to be linked with a girl cloaked in secrets, and an affair with a political candidate could cost Jackie her career.

When an infamous blog with a penchant for outing politicians releases a steamy video of Jackie and Will, D.C. is rocked by a juicy scandal that threatens both their dreams. Can Jackie trust Will to choose her over his career? Or will she never be more than a dirty little secret?
