Overview

MEET THE CHIEF: Behind every good man is a real bastard.

Behind every good man is a good woman. That's what they say.

They're wrong. Even my wife would agree.

The truth is, behind every good man is a real bastard—that would be me.

I knew from the day I met Owen that the only way I'd ever get him was to make sure I took whatever it was he loved and wanted most and hold it so close to me that he couldn't help but come with it.

He did.

And now…now there are people who want to tear the three of us apart.

I'll die before I let that happen.

I am Carter Wilson, chief of staff to the governor of the great state of Florida.

And, according to him and my wife, a bastard extraordinaire.

Book 3 of the Governor Trilogy. This MMF contemporary political romance features friends to lovers, GFY, a secret workplace romance with high political stakes, power exchange, wounded heroes, a cinnamon roll hero, an Alpha hero who will kill to protect his loved ones, and a guaranteed HEA.

Governor , Lieutenant and finally Chief by Lesli Richardson is a trilogy of epic proportions. In book 1 you get Owen's POV and from there you're set off on an emotional journey you don't know if you want to get off or...well no, you definitely want to stay on till the very end. Of course in book 2 you get Susa's POV and holy crap on a cracker is it good. Finally, Carter's book. And his was the one I couldn't wait to read and now I'm suffering from a book hangover. If you want a trilogy filled with so much emotion and stories that will have you turning the page until you get to the end, then these are the books for you. Love, tragedy, scorching heat and romance fill the pages along with three stories told in such detail I feel like I know...like I was there with each of the characters. 5 Stars for Ms. Richardson 💜 USA Today Bestselling Author Elle Boon

Governor , Lieutenant , and Chief , talk about a smoking hot series that gets better and better with each book. Owen, Susa, and Carter, three characters that totally blew my mind. I started out not liking Carter but by the time I got to his book, I loved him, no doubt about it. He is everything a Master needs to be and his devotion to his pets, makes you fall in love with him. Lesli Richardson delves into a political world that does not take away from this series but takes this romance to the next level. This is a series you should not miss!
