'Smart, sexy, funny and so sharply written. A total freaking delight.' Carley Fortune, bestselling author of Every Summer After



School librarian Alexis usually keeps out of the spotlight. But when she's dumped for being too meek in bed, she decides it's time for a change.

Enter Logan, the mysterious stranger she meets at a hotel bar. Foul-mouthed, funny and forward, he's Alexis' opposite – and wow, do opposites attract.

But the next day, Alexis finds her face splashed all over the news. It turns out her mysterious stranger is Logan Arthur, the hotshot candidate running for Texas governor. And they were photographed leaving the hotel together.

A scandalous one-night-stand could sink Logan's career, so there's only one thing for it: Alexis must pretend to be his long-term girlfriend until election night.

A shy librarian in a fake relationship with a hot politician for two long months… What could possibly go wrong?

Praise for this book

"The Boyfriend Candidate is my favorite kind of romance: one where the couple learns to fall in love with themselves as much as they fall for each other." - Ruby Barrett

"An introverted children's librarian and a modern-day reformed rake come together in The Boyfriend Candidate, a romance that's simultaneously sexy and sensitive, brimming with keen humor, impeccable romantic tension, and a lively supporting cast. It's a story about breaking rules, reclaiming control of our internal narratives, and having the courage to rewrite expectations for ourselves--and for love. Ashley Winstead has written my favorite kind of opposites-attract romance: the kind where the leads aren't really opposites at all--they're simply two different halves of the same whole." - Jen Devon
