Forced out with nothing but a faded barrette and a broken heart, Ellie must face the world alone while Daniel confronts what loyalty and love truly mean. But as secrets from the White House threaten to unravel, can Ellie ever escape the shadows of her past—or is her fate forever tied to the man who betrayed her?
John Armstrong wakes in the White House during the Civil War, only to find his cabinet plotting surrender, his wife scheming behind his back, and the Union teetering on collapse.

With enemies at every door and betrayal in his own bed, Armstrong must reclaim the nation, or die trying—because in this deadly game, even the president can be overthrown.
