博客來The White House has its shadows. The most seductive one bears the face of a star.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the young President of the United States, fights for civil rights and nuclear disarmament while the world holds its breath at the edge of the Cold War. Behind the façade of the most powerful political man in the world hides a restless soul, trapped in the navy-blue armor of power and suffering, celebrated by appearances.
When Democratic Party leaders invite Marilyn Monroe to a gala dinner, no one imagines that encounter will change the course of two lives. She, a Hollywood diva with ruby lipstick and a fragile heart; he, a brilliant statesman with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Amid political intrigue, forbidden escapes, betrayals, deceptions, and passion, their story erupts like a wildfire impossible to control.
A contested and envied love, which enemies exploit to undermine the President’s prestige, while Marilyn’s obsession grows alongside the awareness that she’s merely a pawn in a game far larger than she ever imagined.
