Synopsis:

Notorious “wild child” Sasha Sheppard, the sister of the first woman President of the United States Ingrid Sheppard, is suspected of committing three gruesome murders. The fact that important evidence was leaked immediately to the newspapers has Ingrid suspicious that there are people who will stop at nothing, including framing her sister, to get to her and prevent her from winning a second term in the White House.

Or is it possible that Sasha, whose life has been spinning out of control for years, actually committed the murders? Guilty or not, Sasha needs help and Ingrid immediately calls on her best friend and renowned defense attorney Sidney DeRoche. Sidney is shocked and torn, but can’t refuse to help her best friend even though Sasha is the woman who broke her heart. As President of the United States, Ingrid Sheppard has begun to make a significant difference in a country whose people no longer believe in their government. To restore the people's faith and pride of country, and to accomplish her agenda, Ingrid needs another term in office. If defending Sasha will accomplish that, Sidney will put aside her personal feelings and do the job she does so well.

Other dangers threaten. There has been an assassination attempt on Ingrid's life. Liberty Starr, once the deadliest assassin and agent to work for the government, has been asked to come out of seclusion. Her assignment is to protect the first family, including Sasha, and find out who is trying to kill the president. Could the murders and the attempt on the President's life be connected? Twists and turns take the story on a sequence of events that pit Liberty against an old foe, someone who might be better at the game than she is. Will an assassin be able to find an assassin before tragedy consumes both sisters and the many lives they touch? Or will Liberty be the one who ultimately pays the highest price of all?
