First of all, what I am about to tell you goes no further. If I cant trust you to absolute silence, let me know now...

Theres a dead body in the dome and nobodys talking. Silence your questions. Silence your love. Silence the truth. Youve just joined the Fraternity of Silence." Engrossing and exciting with lots of action, Fraternity" is fast-paced, romantic, and suspenseful from the opening scene to the last page.

Texas Lt. Governor William Glinnis is found dead at his desk and no one is asking how it happened. Political broadcaster Robert Larken and fledgling journalist Christine Pullen join forces when he goes from eulogizing Glinnis to occupying his office in the states Capitol. He taps Pullen, of Michigan, as his communications director and realizes falling in love with her is easy. But dealing with his wife, who is dead set on becoming the First Lady of Texas, is not. Will the Lieutenant Governor of the Great State of Texas vote his conscience, or will he trade his principles for power? This dichotomy reverberates all through Fraternity of Silence." Any of this sound familiar? Is this novel fiction?
