Secrets, Lies and Betrayals - Protect and Honor Series, #1 - E-book - ePub

What would you do if your carefully crafted life suddenly blew up online and you became one of the hunted, defenseless against the merciless press and influencers? 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. If this life blows up, her fake life, then who does she become? She barely remembers her real name.
It was taken from her, when as a young child, she became a victim of the same political violence responsible for her grandfather's assassination. Michaela grew up in Europe, far from her family name and influence, under an assumed name and the watchful eyes of Maxwell Cole, the ex-special forces operative who saved her life when she was three, and who manages her security. 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. "Where's Michaela? Where's Michaela? Whatever happened to the Senator's long-lost daughter?" 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. If you're a fan of political thrillers with a hero you can root for, Max 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 to make it out alive.  Or, if you just need a breath of hope during these trying political times, dive in. Fair warning:  You might be up all-night unwilling to let the story go until you see how it all plays out.
