Kass Miller has spent years building a life in New York, far from her father's controlling influence. But when he threatens to cut off her tuition unless she returns to Chicago, she reluctantly agrees-never expecting to meet a handsome stranger at the train station who just might make her want to stay.
Theo Winters has perfected the art of living two lives: dutiful son to a social-climbing mother by day, successful graphic novelist by night. But when the girl who hijacked his table turns out to be his new stepsister, their instant connection becomes a tangled web of attraction and family obligations.
Thrown together at Chicago's high-society campaign events, Kass and Theo find an unexpected ally in each other. But when well-meaning decisions start to echo the very control she's trying to escape, Kass must choose: follow the path laid out for her, or forge her own-even if it means leaving behind the one person who truly sees her.
In politics and love, the hardest campaigns are the ones fought for your own heart.
