LINCOLN'S PARAMOUR
A Novel of Love, Hate, Murder, and ConspiracyTHEY DO NOT WANT TO KILL LINCOLN.
THEY WANT HIM TO WIN THE WAR FIRST.
Washington City, March 1861. The Union is collapsing, spies crowd the capital, and War Department clerk Samuel Mercer has uncovered a secret powerful men will kill to protect.
When Samuel is murdered, he leaves his sister Evelyn a coded black ledger, a brass key, and one final instruction: Trust Abraham.
Evelyn has not seen Abraham Lincoln in twenty-three years. Long before the presidency-before war transformed him into a national symbol-he was the young man she loved and the man she believed had abandoned her without explanation.
Inside the White House, Evelyn and Lincoln begin decoding the ledger. It points to stolen weapons, manipulated newspapers, corrupted officials, and a hidden network known as the Covenant. Its members are arming both sides, manufacturing outrage, and turning national tragedy into profit and power.
But their most chilling plan is not to defeat Lincoln.
They need him to preserve the Union. They need him to free the enslaved. They need him to win the war and become beloved. Only then can they murder him, create a martyr, and control what survives the peace.
As bodies appear across Washington and battlefields become pieces on an invisible board, Evelyn must work with a hard-bitten detective, a fearless Black intelligence operative, and Mary Lincoln herself. Every clue brings Evelyn closer to the conspiracy-and closer to the forbidden love she never truly escaped.
To save Lincoln, she must expose men who never sign their names, survive an assassin in gray gloves, and confront the most dangerous truth of all: Booth may be the weapon, but the hand behind him is everywhere.
A sweeping historical conspiracy thriller of love, betrayal, espionage, and political murder, Lincoln's Paramour asks a haunting question: What if one man pulled the trigger-but one man did not decide that Abraham Lincoln should die?
