Description
White House lawyer Michael Garrick has a relatively anonymous position at a very public address. That is, until he starts dating Nora Harston (secret service code name: Shadow), the sexy and dangerously irresistible daughter of the President. But the confident young attorney thinks he can handle the pressure. Until, out on a date, Nora and Michael see something they shouldn't. To protect her, he admits to something he shouldn't. And when a body is discovered and Michael is the suspected killer, he finds himself on the run. Now, in a world where power is an aphrodisiac and close friends carry guns and are under strict orders to risk their lives, Michael must find a way to prove his innocence.

Fast read
5By AfixelleI couldn’t put it down.Fantastic book
5By Handy Andy in the USAHe kept you hooked from start to finish, no filling in the pages with fluff just a great story.Middling, mixed.
1By gatodakBasically a good story, with an inside view of the White House. Good twist at the end, not unpredictable but still nice. But lots of fluff, unnecessary drawing out of conversations and scenes, wincingly bad or simply odd word choices, amateurish delays of obtaining information for the protagonist, and with such a setting, feels small…. After a while i began to resent having to finish this book.Outstanding?
