If you’re a fan of political thrillers with a hero you can root for, Maxwell Cole is your man. If you prefer your suspense and conspiracies with a hint of romance and a young woman swept up in her powerful family’s past and present ambitions, you’ll find yourself cheering for Michaela Manning to make it out alive. Or, if you just need a breath of hope during these trying political times, dive in, Michaela’s story will provide the escape you’re looking for.
Michaela Manning is a woman living on the edge, holding her breath, waiting, praying the lies hold and no one discovers the truth about her. She barely remembers her real name. It was taken from her, when she became a victim of the same political violence responsible for her grandfather’s assassination.
Hidden in Europe, away from her family’s name and influence, Michaela carves out a life for herself under a new name. Maxwell Cole, the ex-special forces operative who saved her life when she was a child of three, is tasked with managing the details of her security and keeping her alive.
But now, her father’s political ambitions threaten Michaela’s new life. When her father becomes his party’s presidential nominee, the hunt for his long-lost daughter becomes a feeding frenzy. When someone she trusts reveals her secret, Michaela’s two identities collide with deadly consequences.
On the run with Max, and forced back into hiding, Michaela must figure out who betrayed her before the extremists who killed her grandfather eliminate the threat she poses to their cause, forever.
