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\u2019s 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\u2019s fight to be free?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #134f5c; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b>BUY LINKS:<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.extasybooks.com\/978-1-4874-1795-6-the-presidents-wife\/\"><span style=\"color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Publisher<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Amazon: coming soon<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Barnes &amp; Noble: coming soon<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-H-0F5e0V-Mk\/Wy4RtKLg12I\/AAAAAAAAQ1w\/GXb5A3sgzpo1cm5Hp-183FJA6IUJJsxIACK4BGAYYCw\/s1600\/teaser2.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-H-0F5e0V-Mk\/Wy4RtKLg12I\/AAAAAAAAQ1w\/GXb5A3sgzpo1cm5Hp-183FJA6IUJJsxIACK4BGAYYCw\/s640\/teaser2.jpeg?resize=640%2C491&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"491\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #134f5c; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b><br \/>\nExcerpt:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">The state dinner at the White House was in full swing. Waiters were busy delivering food and pouring wine, as guests ate and chatted with others seated at their tables.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Julianna picked at her dinner, some sort of beef dish with quirky vegetables, and continued to study Lodatian President Georges and Mrs. Marella de la Aerelli, as they chatted quietly with the U.S. president and his wife. Marella barely looked up from her plate, and conversation with her hosts appeared to be minimal. God, that is so not the Marella I know. She hasn\u2019t even acknowledged me and I sent her an email informing her that I would be here.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Julianna set her fork down on her plate and nudged her husband, Little River, Wisconsin Police Chief David Manders. \u201cSomething\u2019s wrong.\u201d Julianna whispered. \u201cMarella looks wrong. Maybe she\u2019s just tired after the campaign, but she looks sick. Too thin and too pale. And she isn\u2019t smiling. Marella is always smiling, even when she feels like shit. And she hasn\u2019t even looked at me. Why is she ignoring me? Something is not right. I can feel it.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">David looked at his wife and tried to hide his smile. \u201cJules, you find a conspiracy behind every door these days,\u201d he said quietly. He looked around to ensure that the other four couples seated at their table were otherwise engaged. \u201cI vote for tired, no, make that exhausted. My God, five months ago, she was a farm wife in Lodatia, now she\u2019s been thrust into the international spotlight as the wife of the President. That would exhaust anyone. I know if you ran for president, it would have a negative impact on me.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Julianna smirked. \u201cIf I became President, sir, it would have a negative impact on both of us.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #38761d; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">David sighed and ran a hand through his short, silver hair. His piercing blue eyes gazed at his wife, his fondness apparent. \u201cWell, instead of jumping to conclusions, let\u2019s wait until the reception at the Lodatian Embassy. There are a lot of rules and protocols for visiting dignitaries. Maybe it just isn\u2019t appropriate to buddy up to an old friend at a state dinner. Once you get up close and personal with Marella, you can get a better fix on things. That woman has been through the wringer, what with that opposition group trying to assassinate her husband not once, but twice. I imagine the stress of clinging to Lodatia\u2019s newly formed democratic government is a kind of like hanging on to a cliff, knowing that if you fall, there will be no net to catch you. Cut her some slack and do not tell her she looks awful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-9xgt773tlIM\/Wy4WxrAp-WI\/AAAAAAAAQ18\/wpFlwGmcnvMzwzeMgq-4ayiSFksJ9df4QCK4BGAYYCw\/s1600\/teaser3.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-9xgt773tlIM\/Wy4WxrAp-WI\/AAAAAAAAQ18\/wpFlwGmcnvMzwzeMgq-4ayiSFksJ9df4QCK4BGAYYCw\/s640\/teaser3.jpeg?resize=640%2C492&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"492\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #134f5c; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b><br \/>\nAbout Seelie Kay:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: purple; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Seelie Kay writes about lawyers in love, with a dash of kink.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: purple; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: purple; font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Writing under a nom de plume, the former lawyer and journalist draws her stories from more than 30 years in the legal world.
