Too Close to Call by Mysti Parker

The votes are in, but their hearts are on the line.
As a member of Love’s most prominent family, Helena Davis enjoys traveling the world as a corporate lawyer. When she loses her job and her father suffers a stroke, Helena is forced to return to Love to take care of him. To keep the family’s influence intact, he asks her to take his place in the upcoming election for his vacant council seat. It shouldn’t be a challenge. But this time, there’s a real contender – her ex-boyfriend, Sean.
Sean Dixon thought he’d seen the last of Helena when she turned down his marriage proposal and left town years ago. Now that she’s back and so sure of her victory, he’s determined to win that seat on the council. The people of Love are tired of the Davis family’s corrupt politics. He’ll prove to her that he’s more than just a history teacher and widowed single father. Even if it takes uncovering family secrets and some good, old-fashioned blackmail.
Will his plan backfire? Or could it rekindle a fire between them that never quite burned out?
