I have been called many things in my life. Nerd. Son. Friend. Master Spy. Mr. Blue. Secret Secret Serviceman. But the title I’m most proud of is that I’m the first First Gentleman. Because that means I’m Arizona’s husband. Arizona, my best friend for 20 years who has a crush on my wrong identity. And who’s mad at the identity she knows best. So mad that she’s keeping secrets. Almost as big of secrets as the ones I keep from her. But I have good reason for those secrets. Because her life is once again in the balance. And this time, it’s up to me to appease the Committee.

After months of spy training and several missions under her belt, she's sure of only two things. One, she has superpowers. And two, she and Alex need to figure out what they are and why before Earnestine can weaponize her. There are a lot of other things Violet is less than sure about. Like whether she's smart to trust the team she's started to call friends. Or how entwined Jeremy is with his father's current mysterious plot that the Peacemakers have been assigned to uncover evidence on. Or even that Alex sees her as just a friend.

Violet is only just now acclimating team when she's assigned her first solo mission—which is good, because she and Alex need some distance. She has no time for her newly reinstated best friend's worries about the possibility that she may or may not have been attacked by Dr. Earnestine and injected with something that could possibly alter her DNA. Violet is ready for some time away to focus on a mission and not on her own confusing feelings. But her mission unearths a different set of feelings.

I’m not the best of men, but I’m not the worst of them, either. I’m simply a man with a hard job to do. A complicated one. And as the husband of the first-ever female president of the United States, that’s a responsibility that is very close to my heart. There’s a lot of things she wouldn’t understand about me. It’s not her job to worry about the deep state committee that’s trying to make every politician their puppet, including her. She certainly doesn’t need to know that I’m on that committee. After all, that’s my job. Hers is running the free world.
