Immediately following election day, the incoming First Lady plots the assassination of her husband, president-elect Izaan Bekkar. Throughout the campaign Bekkar kept a damaging secret from the electorate, one that could destroy America’s democracy, and she’s determined to prevent that from happening. But as the moments creep closer to Bekkar’s swearing-in, surprising information comes to light—the kind that changes everything.
