Compared to love, politics is easy Union organizer Millie Frank's world isn't filled with cocktails and nightclubsuntil she's turned into an unwitting minor celebrity. As if being part of a hostage situation wasn't traumatizing enough, now her face is splashed across the news. But Millie's got fresher wounds to nurselike being shot down by the arrogant bad boy she stupidly hit on. Parker Beckett will do whatever it takes to close a deal for the senate majority leader, including selling out union labor. Charming and smart on the surface, he's also cynical and uncommittedan asset on the Hill. But something about Millie has stuck with him and when negotiations bring her to his office, Parker breaks his own rules and asks her out. Parker can't understand how Millie has retained her idealism in a place like D.C. Millie can't believe what Parker's willing to sacrifice in order to pass a budget. But as they navigate their political differences, what grows between them looks a lot like a relationshipand maybe even a little like love. 73,000 words

Thanks for tagging me in #10authorrecommendations @DebbieGrillo! This was harder than I thought: once I got past my absolute stand-outs, I realised there were a lot of authors whose books I love with a similar intensity, and choosing between them was tough! I limited my selection to romance authors just to make my life easier, and put them in alphabetical order rather than worrying about a definitive ranking.

DebbieGrillo If I was going to read one book by one of these authors, which one should it be? 7y
Chachic Donna Thorland, Sherry Thomas and Rose Lerner are the only ones I haven't read from your list! I have books from the latter two in my Kindle though. 7y
danistclair @DebbieGrillo ahhh, that's such a tricky question, because it depends what you like & are looking for! Maybe the Forbidden Rose by Joanna Bourne? If I could only read one fiction book for the rest of my life, it would probably be The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson but I feel like that's because it was so formative for me, and that - objectively - it's probably not as great as I think! 7y
danistclair @Chachic You clearly have good taste! 😜 Thorland is a bit like Bourne, in that she writes romance that feels very like historical fiction. You should definitely get on to the Sherry Thomas and Rose Lerner books you already own when you get a chance! 7y
robinb ❤️ Bourne and Milan! 😊 7y
