Shocking The Senator
by Leanne Banks

Nicola Granville was an independent woman. But it was as Abe Danforth's campaign manager that she achieved ultimate success---and ultimate pleasure. For months her affair with the aspiring senator was conducted in secret, their professional courtesy by day giving way to intimate embraces by night. Until she took a home pregnancy test...

Abe Danforth always got what he wanted---and he wanted Nicola. Except he couldn't understand why she was pushing him away. Abe was ready to go public with his feelings, but Nicola's sudden mood swings were mystifying. Was it another man? Or was it something that only nine months and a proposal would solve?

Dynasties: The Danforths---a family of prominence...tested by scandal, sustained by passion!
