Investigative Reporter Barrie Travis works at a small market television station. She is shocked when she receives a call from First Lady Vanessa Merritt who wants to talk to her. During their face-to-face discussion, Barrie realizes that Vanessa is still grief stricken by the S.I.D.S. death of her infant son three months ago. Vanessa also alludes to the fact that the baby may have been murdered. Barrie decides to do some digging and begins to believe that the Merritt baby was murdered. But proving it will not be easy. Barrie approaches Gray Bondurant, a former Presidential Advisor who left Washington under a cloud of suspicion about his relationship with the First Lady.

I have mixed feelings about this romantic suspense book. The characters did not seem very realistic to me. Yes, the president has a lot of power, but I find it hard to believe that he could pull off some of the things that happen in this book. Still, I enjoyed the overall suspense story and kept turning the pages to see what would happen next. I didn't like the romance between Barrie and Gray. I think the story could have been much better without that element.

I loved how the story wrapped up, especially the little twist at the very end. Overall, an entertaining but problematic read. My rating: 4 Stars.
