Chief of State by Holly J. Martin

Beau Roosevelt seemingly has it all. Intimidatingly handsome, wildly successful, and universally respected, he’s already achieved greatness by becoming the youngest Governor in Maine’s history – not to mention its most eligible!

But Beau is only just getting started. The next stage in his ambitious journey is to win a second term in office – and to achieve that, he’s committed himself to a step-by-step plan for future success that doesn’t leave any room for wildcards.
Wildcards like Sarah Todd.

Brilliant, beautiful, and mysterious, Sarah has become Beau’s new Chief Legal Counsel – and on paper, she’s perfect for the campaign. A Harvard valedictorian with a past so clean it squeaks, Sarah seems almost too good to be true; and that’s exactly how Beau feels the moment he first gazes into her eyes.
For the first time in his life, a woman leaves him rattled. Beau is shaken, stirred, and desperate to learn more about her – except there’s nothing more to learn.

Sarah Todd seemingly has no past. No history – and that’s no accident. There’s a dark secret lurking in Sarah’s past, and if it finds its way out, it could be the death of all Beau’s political ambitions. He’d be a fool to get involved with her. She’d be crazy to go along with it.
But with chemistry this strong, do either of them have a choice?
