Synopsis
Navy Captain Wes Masters, newly posted to head the White House Medical Unit, is a physician with only one patient, but her job is twenty-four/seven. Her charge is simple—protect and preserve the well-being of the most powerful man in the world—the president of the United States. As the First Physician, Wes must travel by President Andrew Powell's side, in the hot zone, with everything she needs to save his life if he is injured or falls ill. Her job gets even harder when she has to prove she is up to the task to Secret Service Agent Evyn Daniels, a member of the elite Presidential Protection Detail, and a woman who challenges Wes on more than just the professional front. Evyn isn't happy about inserting Wes into PPD, especially when Wes gets the post Evyn believes should go to her good friend Dr. Peter Chang. The stakes get even higher for all involved when Homeland Security Deputy Director Cameron Roberts is brought in to investigate a possible security breach, and everyone, including Evyn, is a suspect.

Acknowledgments
Some characters live on in the back of an author’s mind, waiting for the right story to come along in which to make an appearance. The First Responders series is a group of stories linked by the theme of featuring those who serve on the “front lines”: firefighters, law enforcement agents, medics, soldiers, environmental engineers, and many others. When I conceived of the idea of writing about the First Doctor, the physician assigned to the president of the United States, I instantly thought of the characters I had created in the Honor series as natural cast members, and thus this crossover novel was born. This is a standalone spin-off from the Honor series, with a new central main pairing, but I think those of you who know the Honor series will be happy to see a few old friends. Old friends or new, I hope you enjoy!
Thanks go to Sandy Lowe, for shouldering a gargantuan task with energy, enthusiasm, and remarkable calm; to author Nell Stark for close reading and expert advice; to Ruth Sternglantz for editing with insight and dedication; to Stacia Seaman, for being the one I count on in the final stretch; and to my first readers Connie, Eva, Jenny, and Paula for reading the early drafts and never failing to encourage.
Sheri shines, and the covers are always proof of that. Thanks for a great one.
And to Lee, who never falters— Amo te.

For Lee, for patience, understanding, and belief
Chapter One
Wes glanced at her watch as she turned off the coast road onto the narrow causeway leading to Whitley Island. 1142. With luck, she wouldn’t be late. Luck wasn’t something she usually relied on. She believed in schedules and ran her life by the clock. Unfortunately, death had a way of interrupting even the most finely tuned schedules.
Until thirty-six hours ago, she’d been looking forward to spending her upcoming annual leave with her mother and sisters over Christmas, not dealing with a new job, no place to live, and no idea of what the next day would bring. She definitely hadn’t planned on attending the wedding of the year.
All that had changed when she’d gotten a call informing her she was at the top of a very short list for a job most people in the navy, let alone the nation, had never even heard of. The anonymity of the position didn’t bother her—in fact, she preferred working alone and was happy contributing behind the scenes. The next rung in her planned career ladder had been a professorship at the Uniformed Services University where she was stationed. She’d joined the navy because she’d needed the scholarship to go to medical school, and while she liked the structure, she was an academic at heart. She wanted to teach, take care of her patients, and let others wage war. She hadn’t been sure she wanted a job that was going to throw her into close contact with the most powerful people in the world on a daily basis. She’d asked for a day to think it over—they’d given her four hours.
Heading into an unknown situation without the proper preparation made her wary. Order, discipline, and perseverance had brought her from her working-class neighborhood in South Philadelphia to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and finally to the National Military Medical Center in Bethesda. Knowing what she faced—in the ER, in the field, in life—kept her cool and in control. If she never relied on anyone or anything to run interference for her, she had no one to hold accountable for the outcome except herself.
