When a young singer is found dead in the baptismal pool, a polished first lady must protect her church, marriage, and name while uncovering which holy secret made the sanctuary a crime scene.

SYNOPSIS:

At Kingdom Gate Cathedral, white baptismal robes drift across black water before Talia Reed's body rises from the pool beneath a frozen pulpit screen that says THE WORLD IS WATCHING. The church is empty, but the image is built for scandal. Bishop Marcus Bell is powerful, handsome, and watched by everyone. Naomi Bell, the First Lady, is young for the title, too sharp for comfort, and already aware that half the church is waiting for her to misstep.

The night before, Talia sings lead during choir rehearsal and catches Marcus's attention in a way Naomi cannot ignore. After the death, church language, loyalty, finances, desire, and public image all become suspects. Naomi has to manage grief, gossip, church politics, and her own marriage while figuring out what Talia knew and who needed her silenced. FIRST LADY'S SECRETS is a faith-world murder mystery about power behind the pulpit, the cost of perfect presentation, and a woman forced to decide whether protecting the church means exposing the man at its center.
