Kate Goodspeed was the perfect wife and mother, paving the way for her husband Luke's political career, burying secrets before they could erupt into scandal. At the first sign of trouble, she and Luke and their team of advisors would pull together to protect his carefully controlled image.

Now Luke's running for the highest office in the nation, and Kate has a secret more devastating than anyone could ever know. For the first time she cannot turn to her husband or his aides for help.

With growing anxiety, she realizes if the explosive truth ever gets out, it will destroy not just Luke's candidacy, but everything she's ever loved, including her marriage and the family she cherishes. Alone and scared in the heat of crisis, Kate must find the courage to make the toughest decision of her life.
