Laugh-out-loud romance from Joan Smith

This is my absolute favorite Joan Smith romance! What terrible luck! Melanie's thoughtless husband has died and left her without advice on how to marry off their lovely but feather-brained daughter, Sara. After receiving a plea for help, Lillian Vernon and her sharp-tongued aunt visit to lend a hand. At the same time, the local political seat is up for elections, and so begins a merry race to get the best man. When the Whig party whip shows up to take the election in hand, he finds himself hampered at every turn by the lovely but dim Sara, and intrigued more each day by the intelligence and wit of Miss Vernon. Soon, they are collaborating on campaign ideas, clever speeches, and a delightful flirtation... Will their budding romance survive the rigors of a most underhanded political race?
