Fourth & Forever: A Romantic Thriller Novel
DescriptionA love story turned nightmare. A hero turned suspect. A father forced to live a lie.
Jordan Cole rose from nothing — a kid from the streets who became a college football star, married the head cheerleader, and lived the dream in the pros. Fame, fortune, family — he had it all.
But one bad habit threatened to destroy gambling. When debts pulled him into the grip of the mafia, Jordan was forced to throw games to pay them back. Then came the night his wife was murdered in front of him — and the killers framed him for the crime.
With his children in danger if he ever speaks the truth, Jordan endures a public trial that consumes his fortune and his name. Acquitted but shattered, he must raise his kids under the weight of a secret that can never be told.
A romantic thriller inspired by true events, Fourth & Forever is a haunting story of love, betrayal, survival, and the price of silence.

About the author
Scott McClellan
25 books5 followersLibrarian note: there is more than author on goodreads with this name.
Scott McClellan is a former White House Press Secretary (2003-2006) for President George W. Bush.
On April 19, 2006, McClellan announced that he would be leaving the Administration; he remained in the position until replacement Tony Snow was announced on April 26, 2006.
McClellan unexpectedly and harshly criticizes the Bush administration in his 2008 memoir What Happened. He accuses Bush of "self-deception" and of maintaining a "permanent campaign approach" to governing rather than making the best choices. McClellan stops short of saying that Bush purposely lied about his reasons for invading Iraq, writing that the administration was not "employing out-and-out deception" to make the case for war in 2002, though he does write that the administration relied on an aggressive "political propaganda campaign" instead of the truth to sell the Iraq war. The book is also critical of the press corps for being too accepting of the administration's propaganda on the Iraq War and of Condoleeza Rice for being "too accommodating" and being very careful about protecting her own reputation.
The Bush administration responded through Press Secretary Dana Perino, who said, "Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House. We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew."
