First Crisis

Twenty thousand people knew before I did. My husband made sure of it. I'm the captain's wife. For eight years I've run the Ironclads' family program from a phone tree and a folding table, and every wife in the building knows that if her house is on fire, I'm the first call. So when a PR statement lands in my inbox by mistake, drafted in my own name, asking the city for privacy about a night my husband spent in a hotel bar with a woman who posted the photos, I learn the two things I was never supposed to learn at once. Nothing happened past the door. And he told the whole organization before...

My husband proposed an open marriage to hide his ambitious young mistress. He never expected me to use my hall pass to burn his world to the ground. For years, I made myself small to play the perfect corporate wife. Now that I’m seven months pregnant, Elliott thinks I’m trapped. He pitches an “ethical” open marriage as a way to save our relationship. In reality, it’s just a permission slip to keep sleeping with his twenty-four-year-old junior associate. He hands me a hall pass with a smug laugh, absolutely certain no other man would look twice at his heavily pregnant wife. Then I ...

I signed the emergency consent form alone. Twenty-nine years old, bleeding, terrified, initialing a page for surgery in a hospital with my husband's name on the donor wall — while Elliot sat two miles away in a merger meeting, being told I was "stable" and "didn't want to be interrupted." I lost a pregnancy I never knew I had. I lost a piece of my body. And I lost the last thing I'd been holding onto: the belief that Elliot Dane would come if I ever really needed him. So I left. Now he wants back in. He's fired the chief of staff who buried my calls. He's stopped a billion-dollar merger ...

Twenty-four miles wide. Twenty percent of the world's oil. No real alternative. And right now — closed. The Strait of Hormuz is the most important body of water on earth that most people couldn't find on a map. Every day in normal conditions, approximately twenty million barrels of oil and a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas transit this single narrow passage between Iran and Oman. When it is disrupted — as it is now, in the most severe closure since the 1970s energy crisis — oil prices surge, food prices rise, airlines ground flights, hospitals ration medical gases, and ...

He chose a lie over his wife. Now he has to grovel his way home. I told my husband the truth twice. He believed a video instead. Four months pregnant, married to the most dangerous man in the city, and exiled over an affair I never had. Rocco Castellano watched a woman in my coat walk into another man's hotel room — and chose the tape over my face. He sent me away with guards, cold money, and no goodbye. He should have asked me one more question. Because the bodyguard he assigned to keep me caged chose me instead. And when Rocco finally learns who staged it — and why — he doesn't send...

.What if Saddam Hussein… …hadn’t stopped with Kuwait? Project 19 might have worked. No one knows how close Iraq came to invading Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They wanted their money, and Saddam wanted revenge. In a world where the USSR ran a lend-lease program with the Iraqis, Saddam felt emboldened. He’d convince the world that he was just bringing their 19th province back into the fold. With an oil war going on, the Soviets threw their hats into the ring behind Iraq. If they’d had all the latest in equipment, the 100 hours war wouldn’t be so easily fought. It ...

He confessed before she ever had to ask. Now he has to prove it wasn't just guilt talking. Cal Bramwell built everything he has with his own two hands — the shop, the patch he's six weeks from earning, a life nobody handed either of us. I thought that included me. Then his ex — three years together, before me — resurfaces grieving her father, and Cal decides being decent to her doesn't count as anything — not the calls, not the coffee, not the one kiss he swears meant nothing and confesses before I ever catch him. Nobody caught him. That's what makes it worse. Now his patch vote ...

When the United States government passed the Bill of Rights in 1791, its uncompromising protection of speech and of the press were unlike anything the world had ever seen before. But by 1798, the once-dazzling young republic of the United States was on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, the First Amendment, which protected harsh commentary of the weak government, no longer seemed as practical. So that July, President John Adams and the Federalists in control of Congress passed an extreme piece of legislation that made criticism of the government and its leaders a crime.
