Political Gain - Paperback

by Sarah Wyland (Author)

Lyla Adler wasn't looking for love, just one reckless night to forget her manipulative ex and the unanswered questions surrounding her father's suspicious death. A no-strings one-night stand with a handsome stranger in the front seat of his vintage Bronco feels like the perfect escape. Until she realizes he was never a stranger at all.

Kage Kensington is rich, ruthless, and dangerously well-connected. Entangled in a long-brewing revenge plot tied to the tragedy that destroyed his family, he has no time for distractions. But when Lyla's brother calls in a favor, Kage is forced into a role he never wanted: protector to the one woman he should stay far away from.

As Lyla digs into the truth behind her father's so-called accident, one she suspects her powerful senator mother was involved in, she's pulled deeper into Kage's secretive world and his fiercely loyal, morally gray inner circle. The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes for Kage to keep his distance from the woman who threatens to unravel everything he's built-and everything he's tried to avoid.

What began as a single night becomes a dangerous game of secrets where love is a liability, trust is a gamble, and the truth could destroy them all.

Political Gain is Book One of a five-book series in which power corrupts, love is used as leverage, and secrets are the price of survival.
