Behind every successful woman stands a resentful man ... Politics is a ruthless business, even more so for a woman. When headteacher Kirsty's local MP resigns after a sex scandal, she's set on running in the by-election to replace him. She seems the ideal Labour candidate – hard-working, ambitious and with excellent working-class credentials. Only her husband Rick is unconvinced. When he fails to dissuade her from standing, Rick sets out to influence Kirsty's campaign to his own advantage. Kirsty battles on in the spotlight as the domestic and the political start to collide – until a revelation from the past threatens to derail the whole operation.

'Gripping and insightful. The moving personal side of political life by a writer who knows her craft.' (Charles Harris, author of Virtual Control)
'The writing is confident and sweeps the reader along. An entertaining, often unnerving story that keeps you reading right through to the unexpected and satisfying conclusion.' (Ian Nettleton, winner of the Bath Novel Award 2023)
'This dark story of vicarious marital ambition that unfolds in the murky world of politics and journalism will keep you guessing until the end – I couldn't put it down' (Sonia Sodha, columnist and broadcaster)
