Poll Dancer Laura Heffernan

A viral video sets off a chain reaction that alters the course of Mel's life...




Mel had her moves down pat until her ex-boyfriend burst in on her with another woman. Distracted by their kissing, Mel, who was filming a promotional video for her dance studio, miscalculates her next step and falls off her pole. The video grabs the attention of a family values group hellbent on making an example.




The leader, a want-to-be senator, seizes upon Mel's misfortune and launches a protest. Not only is he trying prevent Mel from teaching pole dancing, he's using Mel as a moral scapegoat for his own senate campaign! If he wins the upcoming election, he vows to ban pole dancing.

To keep him from winning, Mel must take desperate action. The only way to stop him from destroying her business and bashing her dreams is to beat him at his own game. Despite little political training, Mel decides to run against him.




Mel knows in order to win the senate election she must change her image fast! She hires a campaign manager to get the community on her side. Daniel is smart, witty, and passionate about changing the world. As he rebrands Mel's image, he captures her heart. But does he like Mel the dancer or Melody the candidate? Can Mel run for office and still protect her heart?



Poll Dancer is a fun, witty update on My Fair Lady, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella. This is the first book in the hilarious Push and Pole series.
