Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government. He has always been the keeper of other people's stories, never a part of the story himself... Until now. When Clementine Kaye, Beecher's first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help tracking down her long-lost father, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. After they accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact - a 200 hundred-year-old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington, hidden underneath a desk chair, Beecher and Clementine find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder. Soon a man is dead, and Beecher is on the run as he races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure. His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of our nation. It is a secret, Beecher soon discovers, that some believe is worth killing for. Gripping, fast-paced, and filled with the fascinating historical detail for which he is famous, The Inner Circle is a thrilling novel that once again proves Brad Meltzer as a brilliant author writing at the height of his craft.

Home is where a person can realize and follow their dreams. Where they feel safe and secure. Loved. That was never my life in the United Kingdom, where I was born. America. Land of the free. My dream. Home. As far away from all of my tormentors and bullies as I can possibly be. An entire six thousand mile ocean between us. Gainesville, Florida, is a city where I can begin to heal from the scars of my past. A chance encounter with the dangerously sexy Captain DJ Rens of the Gainesville Police Department threatens to derail all of my plans. I wanted to start over. I hadn’t intended on the wickedly tantalizing, ungodly commanding, frustratingly enticing man to bulldoze my walls to the ground. But happily ever after has never existed in my world. When my past crashes into the safety of the world I built, all of the walls DJ broke through are quickly fortified. DJ is everything I’ve ever wanted, but I’m terrified of getting hurt. Avoiding that level of pain might be worth letting the love DJ promises with his actions and words slip away... ~ This book is a steamy, age gap, cop romance with heavily detailed mental health themes and mentions of physical violence, bullying and SA (not perpetrated by MC) from FMC’s past. This book may not be suitable for all readers. ~
