A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden

Caroline Delacroix is at the pinnacle of Washington high society in her role as secretary to the first lady of the United States. But beneath the faade of her beauty, glamorous wardrobe, and dazzling personality, she's hiding a terrible secret. If she cannot untangle a web of foreign espionage, her brother will face execution for treason.

Nathaniel Trask is the newly appointed head of the president's Secret Service team. He is immediately suspicious of Caroline despite his overwhelming attraction to her quick wit and undeniable charm. Desperate to keep the president protected, Nathaniel must battle to keep his focus fully on his job as the threat to the president rises.

Amid the glamorous pageantry of Gilded Age Washington, DC, Caroline and Nathaniel will face adventure, danger, and heartbreak in a race against time that will span the continent and the depth of human emotion.

I have read several of Ms. Camden's books and have enjoyed them.  I just couldn't get involved in this book.  I really can't give a good reason.  I just didn't grab my attention.  I would read it for awhile, put it down and read another book, and then come back to it.  Other reviewers seemed to enjoy it.  So may it is just me.  

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishers via NetGalley for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
