Neither King Nor Country

About Neither King Nor Country:

It’s the greatest secret in American History.
So powerful it could topple Mount Rushmore itself.
And someone has found it!

Rob Callahan was a man who wore many hats; Father, teacher, hockey player, husband and friend. He lived his life in a delicate balance and he lived it to the fullest.
His teammate Lindsey loved being just one of the guys. She had played hockey all her life and never let anyone stop her from following her passion.

“I have recently gathered in my possession, various documents and letters from my father concerning our Treaty with the British…”

Rob and Lindsey had no idea what those words meant or what they had to do with Benjamin Franklin and his bastard son but they knew it was something terribly important.

So despised he was erased from history…

There was no time for any of this. Rob’s marriage was falling apart, his boys were taking different sides in a family civil war and the only thing keeping him sane- his beer league hockey team was about to fall apart if he and Lindsey made the wrong move.

It was a secret that could tear America apart, perhaps buried by the Founding Fathers themselves.

But where did their loyalties lie? Should they honor Rob’s grandmother and follow this crazy historical trail? Should they just ignore the secrets and each other to keep Rob’s family together? Or should they follow their heart, their passion and just let the chips fall where they may? How could they resist? How could they ignore one of the greatest secrets in America, a secret buried for more than two hundred years?
