About
The President’s Wife
What
happens when one of your best friends, the First Lady of the newly
democratic Republic of Lodatia, appears to be an imposter? If you’re
criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant, you pursue the truth
like a rabid dog, then wage a battle to save your friend’s life.
When
criminal defense attorney Julianna Constant travels to Washington,
D.C. to join her former college roommate, Marella de la Aerelli, in
celebrating her husband’s election as the first president of the
newly democratic Republic of Lodatia, she is met with an unpleasant
surprise. Her friend of almost 30 years not only looks unwell, she is
cold and distant. After Julianna becomes convinced the woman is
really an imposter, she attempts to expose the faux Marella by using
a secret only she, Marella, and the sitting U.S. President share. In
the process, Julianna helps to uncover an international conspiracy to
seize control of the new country, using the president’s wife as a
pawn in a dangerous and potentially deadly game. Will Marella be
rescued before a coup takes place? Or will she become collateral
damage in one tiny nation’s fight to be free?

Excerpt
The
state dinner at the White House was in full swing. Waiters were busy
delivering food and pouring wine, as guests ate and chatted with
others seated at their tables.
Julianna
picked at her dinner, some sort of beef dish with quirky vegetables,
and continued to study Lodatian President Georges and Mrs. Marella de
la Aerelli, as they chatted quietly with the U.S. president and his
wife. Marella barely looked up from her plate, and conversation with
her hosts appeared to be minimal. God, that is so not the Marella I
know. She hasn’t even acknowledged me and I sent her an email
informing her that I would be here.
Julianna
set her fork down on her plate and nudged her husband, Little River,
Wisconsin Police Chief David Manders. “Something’s wrong.”
Julianna whispered. “Marella looks wrong. Maybe she’s just tired
after the campaign, but she looks sick. Too thin and too pale. And
she isn’t smiling. Marella is always smiling, even when she feels
like shit. And she hasn’t even looked at me. Why is she ignoring
me? Something is not right. I can feel it.”
David
looked at his wife and tried to hide his smile. “Jules, you find a
conspiracy behind every door these days,” he said quietly. He
looked around to ensure that the other four couples seated at their
table were otherwise engaged. “I vote for tired, no, make that
exhausted. My God, five months ago, she was a farm wife in Lodatia,
now she’s been thrust into the international spotlight as the wife
of the President. That would exhaust anyone. I know if you ran for
president, it would have a negative impact on me.”
Julianna
smirked. “If I became President, sir, it would have a negative
impact on both of us.”
David
sighed and ran a hand through his short, silver hair. His piercing
blue eyes gazed at his wife, his fondness apparent. “Well, instead
of jumping to conclusions, let’s wait until the reception at the
Lodatian Embassy. There are a lot of rules and protocols for visiting
dignitaries. Maybe it just isn’t appropriate to buddy up to an old
friend at a state dinner. Once you get up close and personal with
Marella, you can get a better fix on things. That woman has been
through the wringer, what with that opposition group trying to
assassinate her husband not once, but twice. I imagine the stress of
clinging to Lodatia’s newly formed democratic government is a kind
of like hanging on to a cliff, knowing that if you fall, there will
be no net to catch you. Cut her some slack and do not tell her she
looks awful.”

Thanks so much for hosting The President's Wife today. While my book revolves around an international conspiracy, it also includes two very different love stories. Just another way to turn up the heat this summer!
