About this listen
When a woman needs to flee a bad marriage, it doesn’t matter that she’s the wife of the former Vice President, it only matters that she escapes...
Sunday Bond longs for a life far from Washington D.C., and far from the husband who has kept her in a gilded cage for too long, locked up there with only his dark secrets to keep her company. When Sunday’s best friend, the former First Lady, moves south to Shipwreck Key, Sunday goes for a visit and decides to stay.
The remote island off the coast of Florida is the perfect place to avoid the world’s prying eyes and to forget about her husband’s many indiscretions. The warm ocean breeze and the vibrant colors of the tropical flora embrace Sunday, and the island holds the promise of endless possibilities for a woman who is finally free.
As Sunday settles into her new life on Shipwreck Key, she can’t help but feel a flutter in her heart whenever she encounters a Secret Service agent named Henry Banks. It seems like every time she’s washing dishes at her sink, he’s running shirtless down the beach where she can see him, and every time she ends up in a compromising position, Banks is there to save the day. Before long, Sunday isn’t just daydreaming about Banks—she’s actively seeking out his company and blurring the lines between his job and her desires.
But as Sunday begins to explore her own feelings and to enjoy her freedom, she’s hit with the weight of her soon-to-be ex-husband’s ire: Peter Bond wants to run for office again, but in order to do that, he needs to bury his own secrets under the wreckage of Sunday’s life, and he’s determined to throw her under any bus he can find in order to save face politically. This leaves Sunday in a quandary: go back to the tiny fishing village of her youth and face her own demons before Peter shares them with the world, or ignore his threats and accept the possibility that her children will find out things about her that she never wanted them to know?
Caught in a whirlwind of emotions and experiences, trapped under the weight of her previous life and the choices she made, Sunday’s past begins to bear down on her. She doesn’t know whether coming clean will bring her the happiness she’s wanted for so long, but she does know that until she returns to her hometown and confronts her own past, she won’t ever truly be free…free to live without Peter and his dark secrets, free to love again, and free to share her full self with her two daughters.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Narration is ...
I think this is a great story and I would love to hear the whole series but the narration kills it for me. Guess I will wait to see if it eventually will be offered with human narration. May I suggest Erin Bennett? She is awesome!!
