Gerard

I needed a wife to win the Senate. I didn’t expect to fall for the one woman I could never have.

Gerard Collins is a man of cold fury and absolute justice. A high-powered lawyer and former Marine, he’s running for the U.S. Senate to dismantle the corrupt Boroni crime family from the inside. But in the cutthroat world of Massachusetts politics, a single man is a liability. His campaign manager has a plan: a temporary marriage to a "stable" socialite to secure the voters.

Nicole Wyman is Hollywood’s "America’s Sweetheart," but her life is a scripted hollow shell. Returning to her roots on Cape Cod to care for her mentally ill sister, she expects quiet—not a whirlwind proposal from the man who has haunted her fantasies since they were children.

What starts as a tactical alliance for the cameras quickly erupts into a fire neither of them can control. But Gerard’s secret war with the mafia and Nicole’s dangerous family history are on a collision course. When the headlines turn lethal and the Boronis target Nicole to get to him, Gerard must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice: the election he’s worked a lifetime for, or the woman who finally made him feel alive.
