Description de l’éditeur
In a stunning twist of events, Addison Riley is launched from the halls of academia to the spotlight of Supreme Court nomination. She’s not entirely sure she wants the job, but the opportunity to make history ultimately trumps the trouble of having every aspect of her life examined by friends and enemies alike. Committed to the process, she’s determined not to let her attraction to a beautiful woman or the threats on her life deter her from becoming the first female Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Campaign advisor Julia Scott has spent her entire life working to make other people successful, and her pinnacle achievement was the recent presidential election. Now she’s in charge of making sure the president’s first Supreme Court appointment sails through the Senate. She’s faced tough challenges before, but nothing like those posed by the infuriatingly focused Addison Riley, a woman who challenges her mind and awakens her heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Taite (Switchblade) keeps the stakes high as two beautiful and brilliant women fueled by professional ambitions face daunting emotional choices. Law school dean Addison Riley realizes just how uninspiring her current relationship is when a brief encounter with campaign advisor Julia Scott makes her heart zing. Julia, now in charge of getting the president's hand-picked choice to replace the recently deceased Supreme Court Chief Justice, soon finds Addison's name on the shortlist of candidates. Admittedly taken by Addison's beauty and sharp mind, Julia finds herself in a precarious position both professionally and personally, as a past betrayal has left her ever vigilant of her reputation. As backroom politics, secrets, betrayals, and threats race to be resolved without political damage to the president, the cat-and-mouse relationship game between Addison and Julia has the reader rooting for them. Taite prolongs the fever-pitch tension to the final pages. This pleasant read with intelligent heroines, snappy dialogue, and political suspense will satisfy Taite's devoted fans and new readers alike.
