The author of I See London sets her sights on Washington, D. C., with a sexy new series about three sisters, the secrets they keep, and a powerful blog with a knack for exposing scandals…

Jackie Gardner knows all about dirty little secrets. The illegitimate daughter of one of the most influential senators in Washington, D.C., she grew up surrounded by the scandals and shadows of politics. Now that she’s landed an internship with a powerful political consulting firm, she’s determined to launch her career and take this city by storm.

William Andrew Clayton was born for politics. He knows the drill: work hard, play discreetly, and at all costs, avoid scandal. At twenty-six, his campaign for the Virginia State Senate is the first step to cementing his future. It’s time for him to settle down, to find the perfect political spouse. He needs a Jackie Kennedy, not a Marilyn…

When what began as one steamy night, becomes a passion neither one of them can walk way from, they must decide if what they have is really love, or just another dirty little secret…

Review

“But it’s D.C. It isn’t going to change. People love a good scandal, and this is the kind of story that’s going to get airtime”~ Jackie

Jackie has a past that she would like to keep hidden. If not for herself but for another politician. Trying to make it on her own, she works for a campaign firm that aids in politicians getting voted into office. She is good at what she does for the age and time that she has been in this field. But one night a the Hay-Adams bar changes everything. Will and Jackie get consumed by their instant chemistry. Will Clayton is running for the Virginia senate and in order to gain the election he confides in the Price firm. Jackie is assigned to his campaign. When the lines begin to blur, will these two figure out what is more important, love or career?
These two were so made for one another. The suspense was killing me, I just had to know what they were going to do with the public scrutiny that would follow. The web of lies in D.C was beautifully wove in this story! I would say the novel does need a bit of formatting for the character change of perspective. But other than that I truly enjoyed this political romance. 4 smooches for Flirting with Scandal by Chanel Cleeton
