Romantic Suspense/Political Thriller
Denial: refusing to admit the truth or reality of something unpleasant…
His mother has been arrested, his government is under new threat, the relentless media is driving him mad, and denial becomes the word of the day for President Nick Cappuano.
Meanwhile, his wife, DC Metro Police Lt. Sam Holland Cappuano has caught a big new case with suspects everywhere she looks. Watch for her partner, Detective Freddie Cruz, to take center stage in this investigation when a variety of personal situations keep Sam off the job.
With the countdown on to their second anniversary, the first couple is keeping their heads down and their eyes on the prize of a week away from the capital city. But with threats circling all around them, will they be able to make it happen?
The fifth First Family book picks up right where State of Shock left off, with Sam and her family continuing to absorb the loss of a beloved family member as she and her team work to clean up the mess former Lt. Stahl has left behind.

REVIEW
I am a long time fan of Marie Force. The Fatal Series and First Family Series are my top favs. The series is a continuing storyline with the same main characters in each book. The Fatal Series was released in 2015 and I love the continued development of the characters (both main and secondary). The ongoing story, the ongoing characters really lets you feel like you know these characters and it such a delight when a new book is released. Nick is really having his presidency questioned and is under a tremendous amount of pressure. Sam shines as she juggles life as a wife, mother, First Lady, and Police Lt. Her support of Nick and their family takes center stage. I loved seeing Freddie stepping up. As always, I eagerly await the next book in the series.

The First Family Series
Sam and Nick’s journey continues with a change of address to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the First Family Series, a continuation of their story that began with the Fatal Series. All the things you love best about the Fatal Series will be coming with us into the new First Family Series, only there’ll be some added focus on Nick’s job (not too much-I promise) in addition to Sam’s job, which she’ll continue, despite an enormous uproar. There’ll be glamour and international intrigue and all sorts of amazing things to come. All the characters you love in the Fatal Series will remain on the landscape, albeit some of them in new and different roles, but everyone will remain present.
