At fifty-five years old, writer Bob Dawson should be at the top of his game. An accomplished author of the whodunit genre, his titles used to make regular appearances on the best seller list.

Now with his only inspiration gone, his publisher is threatening to pull the plug, and Bob's forced to put pen to paper once again. Unable to find the intrigue or suspense for a true murder mystery, he settles on creating a classic romance, featuring a strawberry blonde heroine who is the spitting image of his late wife. But when the need for a change of scenery brings Bob to sunny Palm Beach, a chance meeting stokes the flames of love once again-and places the author squarely in the middle of a corrupt political campaign. Will this real-life intrigue provide the motivation he needs to churn out his next best seller? And more importantly, will this blossoming romance have what it takes to provide a truly happy ending?
