Enemies of the State by Tal Bauer (Paperback)

An MM political romantic thriller from Tal Bauer, and the first book in The Executive Office series. A rogue Black Ops unit with the president in their crosshairs. A Secret Service agent who will break every rule. And a president falling for the one person he shouldn’t — a man. This is the Expanded Second Special Edition, featuring over 15,000 additional words, expanded scenes and character artwork.

Newly elected President Jack Spiers’s presidency is rocked from the very start as he works furiously to keep the world from falling apart. Between terrorist attacks tearing through Europe, Russia’s constant aggression and the quagmire of the Middle East, Jack is fighting to honour his campaign promise of a safer world. For Special Agent Ethan Reichenbach, Jack is just another president — the third in twelve years. Promoted to run the presidential detail, Ethan expects another stuffed suit and arrogant DC politician, and is thrown when Jack disarms him instead with humour and genuine humanity.

There are strict rules against a Secret Service agent and a protectee becoming friends. Besides, Jack is straight, a widower, and Ethan has always known better than to fall for straight men. He keeps his distance — but Jack draws him in like gas to a naked flame, and it’s a pull he isn’t strong enough to resist. As the two men collide and every rule shatters, the world teeters on the brink of war and a rogue Black Ops unit sets Jack in its deadly sights. To save the man he’s come to love, his presidency and the world, Ethan will have to put everything on the line.

This is an MM romantic thriller for mature readers; please check any content warnings before reading.

Perfect for readers who love MM political and military romance, a forbidden bodyguard-and-protectee pairing, a slow-burn bi-awakening and high-stakes espionage suspense.
