Jamie McAlister has resigned herself to the fact that in
this job market, her painfully expensive degree might
only get her a position at Starbucks, when she suddenly
lands a prestigious internship at the White House. Although
she doesn’t hit it off with the other interns—lockjaws who
come from so much money that ten weeks without a paycheck
doesn’t faze them—she is eager to work hard and make the
best of the opportunity while it lasts.
An
unexpected encounter late one evening with the charismatic
President Gregory Rutland seems like just a fleeting
flirtation, but when he orchestrates clandestine meetings
and late-night phone calls, their relationship quickly
escalates. Jamie knows what she is doing is wrong: he’s
married, he has kids, he’s the President. Yet each time she
tries to extricate herself, Greg pulls her back in.
With the conflicted desires of the most powerful man in
the world driving her to her breaking point, Jamie can’t
help but divulge intimate details to those closest to her.
But she must have confided in the wrong person, because she
soon finds herself, and everyone she cares about, facing
calculated public destruction at the hands of Greg’s
political enemies, and—perhaps no matter how much he cares
about her—at the hands of Greg himself.
