The Senator's Wife - by Karen Robards (Paperback)

About the Book

Ronnie is married to the Honorable Lewis Honneker, a man twice her age. What the public doesn't know about this pillar of the community is that he is fond of engaging in casual indiscretions. Ronnie tries not to dwell on what she might be missing--a task made impossible when young political strategist Tom Quinlan strides into her life. When the senator mysteriously dies in the midst of a scandal, Ronnie and Tom must answer to the growing rumors of their affair, and clear themselves of any guilt in his death. As the stakes rise and suspicion grows, they learn that they must watch their backs and follow their hearts.

Book Synopsis

A public scandal. A private torment. A love that changed everything--

Ronnie Honneker is the senator's wife. When she fell for the dashing politician, the stars in her eyes kept her from seeing his flaws. And when she discovered his constant need for other women, it was already too late. Now all the glamour of politics can't make up for Ronnie's loneliness--or her husband's affairs. Especially the one that explodes into a media sex scandal.

Pursued by reporters, Ronnie reluctantly lets handsome political strategist Tom Quinlan clean up the mess. She agrees to publicly stand by her man until after the next election. Privately, she is in turmoil, and falling passionately in love--with Tom. As Ronnie and Tom seek shelter in each other, suddenly the unexpected happens. The senator's violent death thrusts Ronnie into the spotlight--as the leading suspect in his murder. Now only one thing can prove Ronnie's innocence: the whole shocking truth....
