Caroline Delacroix is at the pinnacle of Washington high society in her role as secretary to the first lady of the United States. But beneath the facade of her beauty, glamorous wardrobe, and dazzling personality, she's hiding a terrible secret. If she cannot untangle a web of foreign espionage, her brother will face execution for treason.
Nathaniel Trask is the newly appointed head of the president's Secret Service team. He is immediately suspicious of Caroline despite his overwhelming attraction to her quick wit and undeniable charm.

Amid the glamorous pageantry of Gilded Age Washington, DC, Caroline and Nathaniel will face adventure, danger, and heartbreak in a race against time that will span the continent and the depth of human emotion.
I don’t know that I have much to say about this book. I liked Caroline and Nathaniel. Gray and Luke are much less involved in her story than she was in theirs. But there’s a new cast of secondary characters in the White House staff and they support the story quite well. There were bits and pieces that were notable like the inauguration ball. And the history is well done. But mostly it’s unremarkably nice.
