The Senator’s Wife series begins when professional soccer player Alex Grey, vacationing on the South Carolina coast, witnesses a sailing accident and dives in to save a drowning woman. That woman is Catharine Cleveland, wife of a sitting U.S. senator. Despite the distance between their lives, the two women keep crossing paths, from Portland to San Francisco to Washington, D.C., and what starts as friendship turns into something neither can ignore.
The series builds across three main novels and a prequel. Political pressure, public scrutiny, and personal risk raise the stakes as Alex and Catharine’s relationship deepens. The Colonel’s Daughter fills in Catharine’s backstory and can be read at either end of the series.
