Gwen
When I stroll into my job interview at a prestigious PR firm in D.C., the last thing I expect is my teenage fling, the sexy and enigmatic Mac, behind the desk. The firm's newest client is a woman running against the incumbent President of the United States, and I want this job so desperately that I can taste it—not to mention I have reasons for needing the income. Big secrets I've kept from Mac.

Gwen disappeared years ago then shows up in my office, looking beautiful as ever. And, even worse, it kills me that she's the perfect person for the job. I'm going crazy being in her proximity all the time, pretending we never spent that one hot summer together. Then I discover what Gwen's been hiding from me—a young son with my eyes. Suddenly, my whole world's upended. Between complications with my messed-up family, issues on the campaign trail, and the chemistry reigniting with Gwen, I'm forced to decide what really matters...and the kind of man and father I want to be.

Just as Mac and I have found a sort of routine in our unorthodox relationship, our world is rocked with shocking news—I’m pregnant. Not exactly ideal timing, given how busy the firm is on this high-stakes Presidential campaign, not to mention Mac's tenuous new connection with our son. As we deal with all these complications, I'm learning how to compromise with Mac so he can be a bigger part of our children's lives—and despite my efforts, I'm falling in love with him. But when I discover Mac's been keeping huge secrets of his own, I begin to realize how precarious our relationship really is...and now I have to protect my heart at all cost.

One blurry photo of a blue plus sign is all it takes to throw my life in turmoil. I'm already struggling with doubt about fatherhood, consumed with fears that I'll turn out just like my old man. I'm determined not to let my newfound family down, though. But when campaign scandals start hitting too close to home, I'm suddenly faced with important decisions about my future with my family, my career, and Gwen.

My life’s a bit of a mess. Okay, understatement of the year. Mere months from Election day—and giving birth—the hits on this Presidential campaign keep coming. A scandal involving me and Mac exposes us to tabloid sharks, eager for whatever drama they can manufacture or expose. Suddenly, a long-buried secret in Mac’s past could mean genuine harm to not only the campaign, but Mac’s personal life…including our tenuous relationship.

When a tabloid magazine threatens to reveal a dark secret I’ve kept buried for years, my stab at damage control unearths a shocking twist. Mind reeling, I’m now certain the best thing to do is end my relationship with Gwen and stop hurting our growing family. But Gwen won’t let me go without a fight. It’ll take all my strength to drag these shadows into the light and prove to myself that I’m not my father, and I can be the man my family needs.
