When he was a teenager, Michael Stanbridge saved his good
friend, Carolyn, from a blazing fire, only to lose his twin
sister in the same tragedy. He spent months in rehab and
never returned to the small town. It wasn't until years
later that he reconnected with Carolyn, who was on a
meteoric rise through politics.
But no matter who she was to the world -- legislator, vice
president and then the first woman president -- Mike and
Carolyn knew each other on an intimate level that couldn't
be denied. Even though she was married, and even though he
rarely saw her as she advanced in politics, Mike couldn't
let go of the bond between the two of them.
When Mike hears Carolyn will be honored at an event in
their old hometown and he might get to spend time with her,
he heads home. But when he gets there, a woman is dead in
circumstances that point to some political wrongdoings. In
no time, Mike is a prime suspect and running from local
cops and the FBI. But as he traces what happened, and finds
other bodies, he begins to see connections to Carolyn. It's
weeks away from her re-election and he wants to keep her
safe.
If only Mike could be sure Carolyn isn't the one who sent a
team of men to kill him and suppress evidence that could
end her presidency.
You're gonna want to read this one! Hold on for an
intricately plotted, wickedly smart trip through
presidential politics. Just when you think you've got it
figured out, you'll realize the games have just begun. An
excellent book.
As the first female president of the United States, Carolyn
Connor is under constant intense scrutiny. So if anyone
discovers that her childhood friend Mike Stanbridge has
become her lover, not just her marriage but also her career
might be ruined by the scandal. Their secret could be blown
sky high when a woman close to the president is murdered.
Worse yet, Mike is the main suspect. Someone clearly wants
Mike to take the fall as more and more evidence seems to
point his way. With political assassins trying to kill him
and the FBI trying to arrest him, Mike will need to move
fast if he wants to stay alive and find the truth behind
the lies.
