The Picture of Cool

By Laurie Boris

Television producer Charlie Trager spends his days working with beautiful women on a daytime talk show.

Then he meets the show’s next guest, a handsome young politician with a bad case of nerves—and a secret that could turn both their lives upside down. Book One, Trager Family Secrets.
