From the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the
first in a sparkling new series about America's favorite royal--the
First Daughter.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you're the
daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a
huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire's latest error in judgment lands her
in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do
community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation,
Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice
president's son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.
Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is
wrestling with his own demons. He doesn't have the time or patience to
deal with the likes of Maddie. They're like oil and water and every time
they're together, it's combustible. But there's a thin line between love
and hate, and it's not long before their fiery arguments give way to
infinitely sexier encounters.
When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of
his unit, the darkness he's resisted for so long begins to overwhelm
him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn't
about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie's fallen for him, and
she'll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that
love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can't lose.
