Our marriage is fake. But our feelings are dangerously real…

Marrying playboy billionaire Darren Walker was only ever supposed to be a business deal.

If only it were that easy.

I'm finding it far too comfortable living in Darren's world, and I never predicted I'd find real meaning in the charity I'm involved with while I pretend to be the perfect wife.

The worst thing is, I'm scared Darren's feelings for me are becoming real, too.

But a woman with a past like mine doesn't belong in a world like his. Especially because I thought my heart belonged to someone else before we were married. Someone much too close to him.

When Darren decides to leave his playboy ways behind and follow in his father's footsteps, I must face reality. A marriage like ours won't last forever.

Not when my former life has the power to come back to haunt me. There's no way Darren's reputation will survive the scandal of being married to a former escort.

And if I let myself get any deeper, neither will my heart…

Queen of Ruin is the second book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience. This book does end in a cliffhanger.

Our marriage could make or break us…

Letting go of billionaire playboy Darren Walker was the right thing to do.

My life as a former escort will only damage his campaign for congress, and I'm too scared to admit I've fallen in love with my fake husband.

Except when Darren finds me and refuses to let me go, I can't run from my feelings any longer. It's time I have the courage to confess that he isn't my husband in name only. He's my everything.

All Darren wants is to carve out a future for himself while honoring his father's legacy. But can I truly be the politician's wife my husband needs when there are those who will use me to derail his campaign?

It doesn't matter how much we love each other, I can't change my past.

But we have no way of knowing that he has shocking family secrets that are yet to be revealed. Secrets bigger than me and powerful enough to destroy him.

And his enemies won't stop until they've left him—and our marriage—in ruins…

The Kingmaker trilogy is a steamy, marriage of convenience, romance, in a political setting. State of Union is the final book in the trilogy with a guaranteed HEA. The books must be read in order, for the best reader experience.
