ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2020

This is Washington DC and there’s only one she here.

For Independent Anna Fitzpatrick, being President of the United States means she’s finally in a place to make a difference. Known for her intellect and charm, she never appears anything other than calm. After getting dumped by the man she’d been living with once he learned of her presidential bid, Anna vows to remain single throughout her term. It’s an easy task, after all, no man has ever made her feel the way her law school classmate did years ago. Or at least the way he made her feel until he walked away without so much as a goodbye.

Navin Hazar is content being one of the nation’s top news anchors. It may not be the plan he had for his life, but plans don’t always go as anticipated. Like his plan for no one to find out he knows Anna personally or did know her, once upon a time.

For fifteen years, they’ve been able to ignore each other, but her election to the highest office changes everything. And when Navin inadvertently lands on Anna’s Press Pool, they realize the only thing more aggravating than politics is love.

REVIEW:MADAME PRESIDENT by Tara Sue Me is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic romance story line focusing on the first woman President of the United States, thirty-six year old, Anna Fitzpatrick, and her former lover news anchor and journalist Navin Hazar.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Anna and Navin) MADAME PRESIDENT follows thirty-six year old, Anna Fitzpatrick, the first woman President of the United States in the weeks and months after her historic election. Watching the returns on the evening news Anna will recognize a face she hasn’t seen in close to fifteen years, a face that stirs something deep within our story line heroine. Without an escort for the inaugural balls, Anna pulls up her ‘big girl panties’ only to be rejected by the man that broke her heart years before. Enter news anchor and journalist Navin Hazar. What ensues is the tempestuous but rebuilding relationship between Anna and Navin, and the fall-out as Navin’s time at the White House comes to a close.

Navin Hazar and Anna Fitzpatrick were college classmates and eventual lovers but Navin disappeared, two days after their one night of passion, without an explanation or a good bye. Fast forward to present day wherein Navin, now a respected, nightly news anchor finds himself facing termination in the face of his previous relationship and friendship with our story line heroine, a relationship he never revealed to his peers or station management. Anna Fitzpatrick is a strong-willed and feisty woman who ran as an Independent in the recent election but Anna has issues of trust as it pertains to Navin Hazar. With his recent demotion to the White House press pool, Navin finds himself in the President’s orbit more often than not but rebuilding their friendship is a struggle when Anna Fitzpatrick struggles with what was, and a potential mole in the WH staff.

The relationship between Anna and Navin is a second chance romance; a rekindling relationship destroyed by the disappearance of Navin Hazar, and our heroine’s issues of trust and disdain directed at our story line hero. As their relationship continues to develop, threats from another source push Navin out of Anna’s life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic. We are introduced to Navin’s co-anchor Gabe Day, and their boss George, as well as Navy Captain Jackson Phillips, and Anna’s WH staff including Chief of Staff David Herdsman, Jaya and her personal secretary Nicole.

MADAME PRESIDENT is a story of second chances and redemption. The premise is inviting and imaginative; the romance and chemistry is intimate and tender; the characters are spirited, strong and realistic.

Even though she graduated with a degree in science, Tara knew she’d never be happy doing anything other than writing. Specifically, writing love stories.

She started with a racy BDSM story and found she was not quite prepared for the unforeseen impact it would have. Nonetheless, she continued and The Submissive Series novels would go on to be both New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers. One of those, THE MASTER, was a 2017 RITA finalist for Best Erotic Romance.

Now she is focusing on new contemporary romances that allow her the freedom to write and publish on her own schedule.
