THE CONGRESSMAN'S WIFE

THE CONGRESSMAN’S WIFE is a masterfully written, steamy romance set in the world of politics and all its sordid machinations. It is the first book in Keel’s THE CONGRESSMAN Trilogy.

The tabloids are full of stories about senators, congressmen, even presidents who cheat on their spouses. THE CONGRESSMAN’S WIFE is about a beautiful woman who cheats on her high-profile politician husband. All she is to Mitchell Bancroft is a trophy wife, born and bred for the part. She believes she has no choice but to play it—until she meets a talented chef and restaurant heir Kaleb Stavros, who makes her feel cherished for herself alone. The more her husband uses and belittles her, the more deeply Eden falls in love with Kaleb. Even with Mitchell’s campaign in full swing, Eden and Kaleb manage to find ways to be together. Their brief stolen moments take them to Paris and then Cyprus, where Kaleb’s family owns olive orchards and a vineyard. Watching Eden fall deeply in love for the first time is enjoyable, and readers will get a vicarious thrill from the couple’s jaunts to Paris, Jamaica, Cyprus, and Jackson Hole. Foodies should also savor the mouthwatering descriptions of the delicious meals and fine wines that are served over the course of the book. When her husband is wounded by a bullet from a disgruntled lobbyist, Eden must stay by his side. What she learns by doing her duty is the key to her freedom, if she has the courage to take a stand. Keel has an excellent track record with a number of books published in the Romance and Historical Romance genres.
