The Choice He Made

She manages access to power.
He protects it.
Neither was meant to trust the other.

Elena Marlowe moves through the White House unnoticed-efficient, professional, indispensable. As a senior liaison, her job is to keep events running smoothly and questions unasked.

Agent Ethan Ward’s job is different. He finds what doesn’t belong.

Assigned to the First Lady’s protective detail, Ethan notices Elena immediately. She’s too calm. Too capable. And when a small security irregularity surfaces, his attention turns into scrutiny-and something far more dangerous.

As pressure builds ahead of a high-profile gala, Elena must decide how much she’s willing to risk to survive. Ethan must decide whether the woman he’s watching is a threat... or the one person he can’t afford to lose.

In a place built on secrets,
being seen may be the greatest danger of all.
