Graham—drunk, lonely, and far too intrigued—takes him at his word.
Now the cameras are rolling, the campaign’s on fire, and the marriage is very real. Was it a stunt… or the truest thing either man has ever done?

E.M. Cummings began writing in 2022, emerging from a lifetime of avid reading with bold inspiration sparked by the trailblazing erotic authors who came before her. Specializing in erotic thrillers, weird science fiction, and low fantasy, she crafts stories that push boundaries and captivate the imagination.
As for what inspires her to write, first and foremost, she is a reader. When telling stories, E.M. strives to create the kind of narratives she, as a reader, would enjoy—breaking tropes, developing well-rounded characters, and weaving compelling plot points that carry the reader through each novel. Writing about topics and emotions she has personally experienced also serves as a therapeutic outlet, adding authenticity and depth to her work.
When not writing, E.M. runs an eclectic book club that explores literature ranging from the timeless Hamlet to the modern Paris: The Memoir. This passion for diverse reading informs and enriches her writing style. Influenced by the provocative works of Blanka Lipińska’s 365 Days series, Anne Rice’s The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (written under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure), and the seminal Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, E.M. strives to create stories that enthrall and inspire readers.
Currently, E.M. is working on a unique creative project: developing soundtracks for each short story and book she publishes. These soundtracks, available under the name "Sinful Spins," can be streamed on Spotify.

This might be my favorite from this author yet. It’s definitely the funniest one, there were a few times I laughed out loud. Graham and Wes are a total disaster in the best way, and the chemistry is just there. I also really liked how real the family stuff felt. The parents aren’t idealized; those relationships are messy, complicated, and believable.
Plus, the settings felt super authentic. You can tell the author actually knows D.C. and Rhode Island instead of just faking the politics and scenery. Smart, funny, and way more heartfelt than I expected. Loved it.
This book will keep you on your toes!!!!! For a lot of it you'll be laughing until you cry - and parts where you'll be clapping & high fiving everyone!!!!! But you'll a!so get a lot of sadness over terrible parent & their betrayal - but the sass that comes from Wes will win you over - I couldn't out the book down you should probably read it on the weekend or when you don't have to get up early the next day!!!! Thank you oh so much for this "DELECTABLE" book - Lori
I actually purchased this book based on a Facebook ad. I know I thought that was a dumb idea too but it intrigued me so I went with it. I’m really glad I did. It’s a fun little story and I would have gladly read more!! It’s fun and funny and spicy too. If you don’t take your books too seriously and just want to have fun with your reading you might enjoy too. I sure did.
Omg why aren’t there more reviews on this book than there are?! It was fantastic. I loved both characters so much and how much they supported each other. I laughed so much during this book. It was the best political romance I’ve ever read. I didn’t want it to end. I need more of these characters
