Michael Keating traded the Oval Office for the quiet hills of rural New Hampshire. The former Navy SEAL lost his bid for a second presidential term after a military operation went wrong. Now he wants nothing more than to disappear with his family and their ever-present Secret Service agents. A new president runs the country while Keating tries to build a normal life far from Washington's chaos. But normalcy shatters when intelligence officials arrive with devastating news. An international killer has placed Keating's daughter at the top of a hit list. The former commander in chief must decide whether to rely on official protection or trust the combat skills that once made him a elite warrior. Political connections mean nothing when a trained assassin closes in on his family.
