Where the Campaign Ends

On a stormy night in Birmingham, Alabama, Ryan Williams was one election away from cementing his place as the ultimate candidate whisperer and obtaining his goal of guiding his man into the White House. But the voters, and then his heart, both failed him. Faced with the ramifications of a humiliating campaign loss and plagued by sudden health issues, Williams finds himself in career exile, living on the beach in Del Mar, California, and isolated from the political world in which he'd spent his entire adult life. His future, once certain, suddenly is in doubt and the more he fights to get back on top, the more he seems to slip from view. Then he sees the silhouette of Maggie Roberson practicing yoga in the surf framed by the setting sun. What started with physical attraction quickly grows into something Ryan never could have anticipated. Can he put his dormant career ambition behind him and choose a new path? Can she become what he needs to mend his ailing heart and help him find peace?
