About the Book

A women's professional soccer player embarks on a forbidden love affair with a powerful senator's wife, setting off a chain of events that could dismantle both of their lives.

Book Synopsis

Two Women. Two Worlds. One Love Worth Risking it All.

When professional soccer player Alex Grey goes on a vacation to the local South Carolina islands, she isn't anticipating any life-changing events. Just a relaxing weekend to prepare for the upcoming season. But that quickly changes when she finds herself the lone witness to a sailing accident and makes the decision to risk her own life to save a drowning woman-unwittingly coming to the rescue of a U.S. senator's wife, Catharine Cleveland.

Despite the vast disparity between their worlds, the two women find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another after the near-catastrophic afternoon. Following a series of interactions from the soccer fields of Portland to the Marina District of San Francisco Bay and the cutthroat political circle of Washington, D.C., they find their friendship growing, transforming into an attraction neither woman can deny.

Nor an attraction either woman can comfortably embrace.

As the magnetism of their connection grows, both women are forced to decide if the pursuit of love is worth the cost while living under the scrutiny of the public eye.

The Senator's Wife is Book One of a three-book series.

"It's been so long since I have read a book that has made me feel everything this novel made me feel. I was heartbroken. In love.

Devastated. And yet, somehow, beautifully put back together again."
