FIRST LADY by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Cornelia Case & Mathew Jorik

How does the most famous woman in the world hide in plain sight?

Daughter of a vice-president and a widow of recently assassinated president, Cornelia (Nealy) Case has spent her entire life under Secret Service and media scrutiny. Under pressure from her father, forced her back into the role of First Lady. Desperate for a little freedom and resolves to break out of her glamorous prison to live life as a normal American, she's made up her mind to escape.

Journalist Mat Jorik is a pushover for a female in trouble. When his ex-wife dies and leaves him her two daughters, he agrees to drive them from the East Coast to their grandmother's Iowa home. They haven't gone far when he takes pity on another female and offers her a ride in return for her care of the baby and teenager. Nealy accepts his offer.

Little does she know when she climbs into the Winnebago that she's about to lose her heart to two kids who desperate for a family and a seductive man who has a secret of his own-and an appeal that threatens to awaken the woman behind the national icon. In the meantime, they're off on an adventure, the likes of which Nealy's never had before.

With the entire nation searching for her and the Secret Service is hot on Nealy's trail and despite her best efforts, she's bound to be caught. The question is, what will happen when Mat learns who she really is and what will happen to this slapdash family when they're found?

FIRST LADY…a star-spangled, richly emotional story of self-discovery, celebrity, love, and family.
