Synopsis: First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince.
As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?
A classic sworn enemies turned lovers tale, this story explores sexuality, love, and what happens when your personal life is a headline for another’s political gain. I loved this one! I listened to the audio and it was such a quick, sultry romance involving scandal and royals and the first female president.
McQuiston created authentic characters who are flawed, emotionally unavailable, yet hopeful, forgiving, and are accepted. I highly recommend!
