Poll Dancer Laura Heffernan

When politics meets pole fitness, Mel's life flips upside-down.

After Mel's disastrous promotional video goes viral, a "family values" group launches a protest against her dance studio. Their leader isn't just trying to stop her from teaching--he's using Mel as a moral scapegoat for his own senate campaign. If he wins the upcoming election, he threatens to change the laws to keep all pole dancing out of their community.

Mel's no politician, but she's not not going down without a fight. Since running for office beats unemployment, she decides to face off against him. She hires a campaign manager and tosses her hat in the ring. There's just one problem: voters don't understand pole. Mel needs to change her image, fast. If she can't get the people on her side, she won't have a business to save. Worse, Mel finds herself falling for her campaign manager, Daniel, but she can't tell if he likes Mel the dancer or Melody the candidate.

For Mel, the hardest part of running for office may be protecting her heart.
