The Secret President: an Election Thriller
Presidential front-runner Victoria Bixby is hiding a massive her authentic personality. Behind Victoria’s buttoned-up exterior is a potty-mouthed, hot-blooded political warrior. The American people have no clue that they’ve been deceived, and she’d like to keep it that way, because her opponent, Rushmore Boss, would be a disastrous president, and a threat to democracy.
With two months of campaigning to go, everyone expects Victoria to win in a landslide.
But they’ve got another thing coming…
It begins in the Hamptons, when a posh fundraising-event is sabotaged. Secret Service agents swiftly arrest two waiters, who refuse to answer interrogators’ questions. While evidence of a larger plot is scant, Victoria’s well-honed instincts tell her something’s up. After a San Francisco fundraiser is hacked, her allies in government do some digging and uncover evidence that foreign operatives are colluding with Rushmore Boss’s team to destroy her candidacy. Even worse, the conspirators appear to have recruited a politico in her own political party, a disturbed man who harbors a grievance so toxic it might endanger everyone she loves.
With Election Day looming and the conspirators scheming to acquire and disseminate evidence of her darkest secret, Victoria faces a stark
Should she play nice, accept defeat, and allow a dangerous man to steal the election? Or should she throw the rulebook out the window and risk personal destruction to save her country?
The Secret President is a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller told largely from the point-of-view of a seventy-year-old politician. It is set in the crush of a presidential campaign, on the treacherous road to the White House. This novel is an urgent, unpredictable, R-rated (raunchy, profane) adventure. It is not for the faint of heart. If you are easily offended and cannot handle depictions of the seamy side of life, it is not for you.
The Secret President is available free of charge on Kindle Unlimited. It is listed under the categories Thrillers - Political and Mystery & Detective - International Mystery & Crime. It is searchable under the presidential thrillers, female protagonist thriller, dark political thriller, election 2016 fiction, political conspiracy thrillers, conspiracy theory thrillers, political suspense.
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places and events are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.

A little too close to the political bone....
I like a good "goings on in Washington D.C." storyline as much as the next guy, but this work smacks a little too close to life in the oval office; and life there reflects the way folks talk there. The "I say," "He says," form of writing takes a little more to get used to. The work could do with less trips to the expletive well - not fully clean, but less filthy.
