A young and impressionable Elizabeth Bruce begins an illicit affair with President John F Kennedy, and must decide if one brief shining moment in a Camelot era world is worth destroying everything she holds dear.
*****
In the summer of 1963 when President John F Kennedy first set eyes on the young Elizabeth Bruce,
she was just a girl from a wealthy American family. But she was different than the other women he had seduced; she was unpolished and unrefined, but there was something fresh and new about her that he craved desperately. And she was entranced by him and the glory and wonder of the Camelot world that he brought with him. Follow Elizabeth's story as she begins an illicit and dangerous affair with the most powerful man in America, and find out just how much it cost to have 'one brief shining moment' in Camelot.

𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜 𝙾𝚝𝚒𝚜 𝚁𝚎𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚜 | ONC 2024
ONC Ambassador's Pick & Shortlister! Rumors. Infidelity. Lies. Secrets. MURDER. And all before lunch time. Who knew being a socialite in 1951 could be so thrilling? ~~~ On a lovely June afternoon, as the oh-so-chic members of the Gilded Grove Ladies' Book Club gather for their scheduled luncheon, they are shocked to receive the news that their vice president, Camilla Otis, is unable to attend. Gossip ensues. What catastrophe could possibly have befallen her to warrant a last minute cancellation? The answer comes by way of two clever, dashing police officers. It seems Camilla Otis has had quite a busy morning, and that the truth behind her absence is far more scandalous than the Book Club ladies could ever have imagined. As the police dig deeper into the events surrounding Mrs. Otis' shocking crime, buried secrets about the other Book Club members begin to surface. None of the women in question are the fine, upstanding ladies of society that the public believes them to be. Each has tarnish on her so-called "sterling reputation." And no one has more to hide than club president Marcella Montgomery. Written for ONC 2024, this is a tongue-in-cheek "whodunit" (in reverse) that will leave you wondering just what a scorned woman *wouldn't* do for sweet, sweet revenge. ⚠️ Warning: many very nonchalant references to murder and death. Very ignorant (era-realistic), inaccurate comments about nationalities/cultures outside the US.Zakończone
