A Woman of Worth

About the Book

Women, sex and politics in the hot seat of the nation’s capital. A WOMAN OF WORTH unravels the life of a woman destined to make history. Beautiful, intelligent and ambitious, Gregg Gardiner has always been the best at everything. She diligently works her way into the tangled web that is Washington D.C. Her brains and body help her win a cherished position as an aide to Senator Douglas Fairchild.

Doug likes both his cars and his women fast, and is angered at Gregg’s persistent refusal to sleep with him. Handsome, flamboyant and brash, Doug is used to getting his own way. The perennial favorite of the news media, his spirit and good looks are giving back some glamour to the Washington scene. He turns his charms toward Gregg and finds himself appreciating her mental agility in an equal par with her physical attributes. Gregg learns to appreciate the man behind the image and their mutual attraction grows into passion.

A tragic turn of events culminates in marriage for Gregg and Doug. During his illness, Gregg takes on the responsibility of handling Doug’s Senatorial duties. She is embraced by people and loved by the camera. As her popularity grows, so does her ambition-and that of her enemies.
