The President's Wife

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?
