“He's got a bright political future. She's got a sexy secret past. Who do you think will grab the headlines?”

Overview

Hugh Hathaway was captain of the high school football team when Aggie Snow first went giddy over him. Now, he's a successful senator running for president and she's an award-winning children's author. They may clash on some political issues, but they can agree on one thing: they're falling in love. Aggie isn't sure she's ready to become anyone's first lady, let alone the country's but she's soon seduced by the smiling senator and introduced as his bride-to-be to the nation. Unfortunately for the White House hopefuls, someone has film footage of Aggie from the Nixon Years, showing her in a series of compromising positions which could compromise Hugh's chances of winning. Will the two running mates ruin into in a brick wall — or will love conquer all before election day?
