Kerry Coleman's choice is stark: marry Gregory Davenport and join the nation's most celebrated family, become a billionaire and maybe someday first lady, or choose the man she loves, Gregory's chauffeur Brad Armstrong. Kerry has no inkling that both men are living a lie; that her choice is not between power and love, but between good and evil. "For Power or Love" is a love story at its heart, but it's much more. It's a story of heroism, treachery and deception. It is tragic and funny by turns, and includes cliff hangers and unexpected twists.

Taking up where volume 1 left off, volume 2 of "For Power or Love" follows the comical and tragical exploits of Kerry and Josh as they run from the law that wants to imprison them and from the rich and corrupt Davenport brothers who want to kill them. Can Kerry and Josh get the truth out--a truth that would ruin the Davenports--or will the Davenports silence them forever?
