title: The Candidate
author: Richardson, Tracey
description: Presidential candidate Jane Kincaid -- gorgeous, dynamic and extremely driven -- is taking the country by storm, passionately outlining her blueprint for America. Voters quickly fall in love with her . . . and so, unwittingly, does Secret Service Agent Alexandria Warner. Jane soon begins to rely on the agent's humor, friendship and protection, all while denying her growing feelings for Alex. But the mutual attraction begins to take on a fiery life of its own, and Jane fears their intense feelings for each other are a tinder box that could destroy the landscape of her career and alter the history of the country.
  
  Alex, aware of the growing effect she is having on the candidate, feels she must choose between protecting her own heart, and protecting the woman she loves from a force that could destroy her political future. Jane had always expected the road to the White House would exact a high personal toll. She just never knew how high until forced to choose between her heart and her political destiny.
