Being a teenage genius is tough. Being the President's daughter is tougher. But being both while secretly working for a classified branch of the Secret Service? That's 17-year-old Alix Forrester's life now, and it's about to get even more complicated. Now she's not just dealing with a shattered spine from a suspicious "e;accident"e;—she's training to protect her father from an unknown assassin. Enter Ian Donckers, her mysterious new teacher and Secret Service instructor, who's barely four years older than her. He's brilliant, challenging, and definitely off-limits, which doesn't stop her heart from racing every time he's near. Then there's Sam—her father's favorite intern and her longtime crush—who finally kisses her right before he's accused of plotting to kill the President. To clear Sam's name and save her father's life, Alix will need more than her genius-level IQ—she'll need to become the spy she never wanted to be. Caught between her impossible feelings for Ian and her desperate need to prove Sam's innocence, Alix discovers that mixing love and espionage might be the deadliest combination of all. With a killer hiding in plain sight, a White House full of suspects, and five precious seconds that change everything, Alix must prove she's more than just the President's broken daughter. She might be the only one who can save him—if she doesn't get herself killed first.
