Hold Fast the Dream — Lurlene McDaniel

For ambitious TV journalist Catlin Rurke, the political platform of independent senatorial candidate Matthew Carr sparks both suspicion and curiosity. If what he says is true, he just might influence the large undecided vote and swing the election. The shadow of doubt cast by Matthew's secretive past, however, spurs an intensive investigation by Catlin's unscrupulous boss and mentor, Taylor Shentell, who assigns her to the campaign. As she struggles to uncover the truth about Matthew Carr, she finds herself confronted by a choice between the man who has engineered her successful career and the man who seems possessed by an impossible dream.
