Tainted Image

by James Dowling

Cara Anderson has a passion in life. Not for men or family, or even children. Her passion is power...political power. Her beauty is the one thing that will get her that power; her beauty and driving ambition to make something of herself in a man's world. And make something of herself she does. Starting with her graduation as a young lawyer from the University of Maryland, she climbs the political ladder more swiftly than even a young Democrat from Massachusetts had two generations earlier--first as a hard-charging prosecuting attorney, then through a series of political positions that culminate in the United States Senate. Cara does not see the senate as a culmination, however, but as a stepping stone to the one office where power is absolute.
