New York City's youngest mayor, Robert Davenport, decides it is time to strategize. Next move: a bid for the governor's seat. In his way: an incumbent with a flawless reputation. He also has an Achilles’ heel: an estranged wild-child daughter with a past so scandalous it could be Robert's ticket to victory. Adeline Blake, New York's premier event planner, is all about reform and respectability. When she's approached by Robert to organize the party of the season, she knows he is her father's most formidable opponent. They say politics makes strange bedfellows... now Robert must choose between his political future and the woman who holds his heart. -- adapted from back cover
