Selene Moreau was never just a wife—she was a kingmaker. While the world saw a graceful First Lady, beneath the polished smile lived a woman who had sacrificed everything to put Alexander Moreau in the Oval Office. She shaped his image, orchestrated his rise, and made him untouchable. Then he betrayed her. When the mistress emerges, when whispers of scandal grow too loud to ignore, when the man she built tries to erase her—Selene doesn't crumble. She evolves. Moving through Washington's gilded halls like a ghost, she turns allies into enemies and secrets into weapons. But in a city where power is everything, nothing is as it seems. A billionaire with dangerous influence circles like a predator. A rival waits in the shadows for her moment to strike. And Alexander's mistress? She's a wound he won't let heal and a threat Selene won't let live. Every player has their own game. Selene is playing for keeps. As the stakes rise and the walls close in, the question isn't how far she'll go to reclaim her life—but what kind of woman she'll become when the reckoning comes. In Washington, when the throne crumbles, only the ruthless survive to claim what remains.
