Love wins in this election

Lisa Meyer is an attendant at her best friend's wedding, and happens to have a huge crush on her friend's twin brother, Mark. At the reception he finally kisses her. Actually, not to put too fine a point on it, he does more than kiss her. He sweeps her off her feet and promises a night neither will forget. Then, before the evening ends, she sees him leave the reception with another woman. Lisa smiles through her anger and moves on. In present day, eight years later, Lisa is a forceful campaign organizer and fund-raiser for a gubernatorial candidate in Missouri. Totally committed to electing her candidate and making a place for herself in his administration, she's using a huge fund-raising event in St. Louis to prove she can handle the greater responsibility. Unfortunately, at the last moment, she finds herself face-to-face with Mark Smith, the man who ran out on her. He's attending the function as the guest of honor and a major contributor. She thinks Mark is a snake, but (darn it!) she feels the old familiar pull to him. Mark can't believe that by filling in for his father at this fund-raiser, he's found Lisa again. He remembers the night at his sister's reception when he thought Lisa was "the one." After helping a friend's sick girlfriend to her car, he hurried back to find Lisa but she was gone. Although he's still a little peeved that she dumped him all those years ago, he still feels an attraction, and he's determined to find out if she feels the same. If she does, he has another campaign in mind for her: A marriage campaign. I enjoy politics and so it was fun seeing how the supporting cast in a campaign works. The way Michele brought St. Louis locations into the story and wove in Lisa's friends was well-done. Subsequent books will feature the friends as they find their true loves, too--good news for Michele's fans!
