  “Please,” she said. “Issac has never dated women he works with, especially his assistant. There’s no way he’d be with her. Even if changed his mind on that score, I thought you had enough respect for your friend and business partner not to make a move on his woman.”

  “You thought right,” Ty said. “But they aren’t together. Or they weren’t until a few minutes ago. The only reason I’m standing here is because Issac showed up and had a hissy fit, thinking the same thing you did.”

  She supposed it should have made her feel better they’d shared the same reaction. They always had been more like-minded than her and Ty ever were.

  “Sorry for jumping to inaccurate assumptions,” she said.

  “No worries,” he said, his smile returning. “But I have one question. Why are you here tonight?”

  She had never lied to Ty and she told herself she wouldn't start now, no matter how tempting or easy it would be to do so. “I heard you were stopping by. It never occurred to me you would have someone with you. When I saw the two of you enter the main area, I went a bit crazy in my head.”

  “What did you think would happen if I showed up alone?”

  “You said you had one question, that’s two.” Not to mention, she didn’t want to answer that particular question because, totally against her nature , she hadn’t thought that far ahead.

  Or more to the point, she had, but couldn’t admit it to herself, much less confess it to him.

  “I’m asking.” He stepped closer, moving into her personal space. “Because I’m alone now. Which means whatever you thought might happen, remains possible.”

  “No,” she said because what she wanted was impossible.

  “Tell me.” He lifted his hand as if to brush her cheek, but she turned her face. If he touched her, even once, she’d surrender to him. He’d broken her once. She’d be damned if she’d give him the chance to do it twice.

  Madame President

  This is Washington DC and there’s only one she here.

  For Independent Anna Fitzpatrick, being President of the United States means she’s finally in a place to make a difference. Known for her intellect and charm, she never appears anything other than calm. After getting dumped by the man she’d been living with once he learned of her presidential bid, Anna vows to remain single throughout her term. It's an easy task, after all, no man has ever made her feel the way her law school classmate did years ago. Or at least the way he made her feel until he walked away without so much as a goodbye.

  Navin Hazar is content being one of the nation’s top news anchors. It may not be the plan he had for his life, but plans don’t always go as anticipated. Like his plan for no one to find out he knows Anna personally or did know her, once upon a time.

  For over ten years, they’ve been able to ignore each other, but her election to the highest office changes everything. And when Navin inadvertently lands on Anna’s Press Pool, they realize the only thing more aggravating than politics is love.

  NEW YORK TIMES/USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
