Libby McIssac is known for two things: catching bridal bouquets - her record is an even dozen - and having a way with words.
Since the former isn't really something that looks good on a resume, it's helpful to have developed the latter into a new career as a political speech writer. But just as she's making sure she's recognised as knowing something about . . . well, anything, Libby's world is turned upside down. A handsome British consultant - a bit on the cagey side, perhaps - shows up. He disturbs the delicate chain of command around the office, and somehow always gets what he want. Including Libby?
When a media leak of a big-time scandal sends everyone into a tailspin, Libby fears she may get caught in the crossfire. Cue the fake alliances, the secrets, the sex, the subterfuge, the hidden friendships: it's all there.
Welcome to the world of politics where perception is everything, nothing is as it seems and the last thing you want is to be left speechless.
