Book Description
She captured the shot that could change the world. But some secrets should stay buried in the Lowcountry sand.
When twenty-one-year-old photojournalist Kate Miller lands her dream internship at The Washington Post, she expects to chase headlines — not become one. But when she photographs the shocking assassination of an oil minister in Tehran, her images spark an international firestorm and win the paper a Pulitzer. For her own safety, Kate must remain anonymous.
Back in Washington, Kate’s instincts pull her into another story — this time, one wrapped in charm and danger. Her heart betrays her when she falls for Jim Rayford, a charismatic congressman from South Carolina with secrets of his own. Their romance takes her from the marble halls of D.C. to the windswept beaches of the Lowcountry, where power and passion collide.
But when a rising political star ascends to the Vice Presidency — and a shocking assassination rocks the White House — Kate’s camera may hold the only truth that can unravel a deadly conspiracy.
Fatal Exposure is a smart, atmospheric romantic thriller blending Washington intrigue with Southern heart — perfect for readers of Mary Alice Monroe, Sandra Brown, and Karen White.
“She believed timing was everything in photography— being in the right place at the right time put the President’s assassin squarely in her frame. From the inner sanctum of DC to the beaches of the low country, Bergwerf brings insider knowledge to a story where power, attraction, and timing collide!” – Mary Alice Monroe New York Times Bestselling Author of Where the Rivers Merge
