In his new book, American Legacy: The story of John and Caroline Kennedy, in stores July 10, author C. David Heymann claims JFK Jr. hooked up with a professional escort who went by the name "April Showers" after finding himself odd man out in a classic Hollywood love triangle.

"The reasons he met up with her was that Daryl Hannah, who was at the time involved with Jackson Browne, would not see John when he was in California to meet up with her, so obviously frustrated he called an escort service," Heymann says.

The author goes on to say that JFK Jr. paid $200 an hour for the tryst with the escort.

But there was an array of women John came in contact with says Heymann, including supermodels.

"These leading fashion models, one more attractive than the other, were falling all over each other to get together with him," he says.

But was the Camelot heir thinking about following in his father’s political footsteps? The author says yes.

"Caroline his sister knew about it and was for it," he says.

Heymann says JFK Jr. nearly ran for the New York Senate seat that Hillary Clinton won in 2000.

"He didn’t run against Hillary in New York for senator because of the fact that he felt his wife wasn’t ready at that point but I think eventually he would’ve certainly entered politics."

And the author believes even bigger things would have been in store for John if not for his tragic death in 1999.

"I actually do believe that had he lived, he would’ve become President of the United States," he says.
