Blurb
When
politics interferes with love, can love survive?
Getting
married isn’t easy when your father’s the President of the United
States! After reluctantly agreeing to a White House wedding, Sarah
Lee Pearson, the president’s daughter, finds herself swept into a
political maelstrom of unimagined proportions.
The
White House staff and the first lady see the wedding as a political
event, a way to sweep the president into his next term. Congress is
complaining about the collateral costs. The media is delightfully
rehashing every aspect of Sarah’s life, even those events that have
nothing to do with the impending marriage. And the American public?
Visions of an American royal wedding have swept them into a frenzy
and vendors take advantage, making a quick buck off of everything
from limited edition t-shirts to commemorative teacups.
Sarah
and her fiancé, Sam, fight hard to ignore the craziness, but after
learning a bounty has been put on their heads by an anti-government
militia group, they have to decide whether a White House wedding is
indeed worth it. And given all the hurtful controversy, perhaps a
better solution is to not get married at all.

Excerpt
“How
does my father feel about this?” Sarah asked.
“Your
father wants you to do what makes you happy.”
Jamisen
Powell entered his Chief of Staff’s office and nodded coldly at
Jeremiah. He added, “He would never ask you to do otherwise.”
Sarah
smiled and rose to kiss her father on the cheek. “Thanks, Dad. I
knew you wouldn’t ask me to be a political stool pigeon.”
Jamie
Powell chuckled. “No. That job apparently falls to staff.” He
smiled at Sarah. “Look, hopefully, you only get married once. Make
a memory that will mean the most to you and Sam. Nothing else
matters.” He shook his head, “Maybe Jeremiah will get lucky and
your sister, Melissa, will hook some poor sucker before the next
election. She and her mother would be overjoyed planning a White
House wedding.”
Jeremiah
scowled. “I am only thinking about your re-election, Mr. President.
Your first term has been a bit rocky. You need a solidifying factor,
something that will grab the hearts and minds of the American public
and provide a clear path into the next term. Your story, a daughter
lost and found after twenty-five years, especially a daughter who
just happens to be a stellar human being and a successful
international law attorney, won their hearts in the first election.
“Walking
that same daughter down the aisle, something you had never dreamed
was possible? The ratings alone will rival a royal wedding. No
offense, but Melissa’s marriage—if it ever happens—could never
have the same impact. People don’t view her in the same light as
Sarah. Melissa is a flighty socialite. Her deep-seated sense of
entitlement offends. The ratings for her wedding would be
nonexistent. But Sarah? She’s the golden child. The American public
loves her.”
The
president’s sapphire blue eyes, which mirrored Sarah’s, flashed
with annoyance. “Be that as it may, I am not about to force either
of my daughters into something they don’t want. Sarah has declined
your request, and as far as I am concerned, that’s the end of it.
You will have to find another solidifying factor, Jer. Surely I have
done something that’s re-election worthy!”

Congratulations on the new release, Seelie! Hope it does really well.
Thanks, Lisabet! And thanks for featuring my book today! When I wrote this, things weren't quite so crazy in D.C. Now I feel like the events in the books are on the verge of coming true!
