He's the Man She's Never Forgotten

Rebecca Jones and Jon Whitaker were childhood sweethearts — since the day she ran his campaign for president in the sixth grade. He was destined for politics, and Rebecca was going to be there to support his campaign. And then one day, she overheard what he really thought of her, and she fled.

Now Rebecca is a professor of political science, and she's caught in a web of politics around freedom of speech, the Idaho legislature, and a law banning critical race theory. Not that the legislature actually knows what CRT is, she gripes to her best friends on Friday night.

Jon Whitaker is running for the Republican governor nomination. And he's got a problem. A big one. His father and uncle urge him to reunite with the girl he once scorned as bright, but not pretty enough for him. But Rebecca Jones has grown up. She isn't interested in his family's games. And Jon can't blame her. But she still might be just what he needs — even if she's considered the most liberal professor on campus.

But what does Rebeca need? She doesn't know, but she's pretty sure it isn't the man who broke her heart and left her with panic attacks at a man's touch.

His campaign. Her classroom. How does love find a way through all of that to bring an HEA to two people so polar opposite? Maybe with a little help from Rebecca's friends. For her, they'll even pitch in to solve the problems a conservative politician brings to their world. (Anonymously. Dear God, says one. Don't let anyone know I helped you.)

Book 1 in Rebecca's trilogy, and book 11 in the Small Town Secrets series. Four women friends who have each other's backs. With that kind of support, you might even be willing to take another chance at love. For readers of Suzanne Brockman, Cherry Adair, and Elaine Levine.
