NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A revelation . . . a book in the Caro mold, using Lady Bird, along with tapes and transcripts of her entire White House diary, to tell the history of America during the Johnson years.”—The New York Times The inspiration for the documentary film The Lady Bird Diaries, premiering November 13 on Hulu Perhaps the most underestimated First Lady of the twentieth century, Lady Bird Johnson was also one of the most powerful. In Lady Bird Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight, Julia Sweig reveals how indispensable the First Lady was to Lyndon Johnson’s administration—which Lady Bird called “our” presidency. In addition to advising him through critical moments, she took on her own policy initiatives, including the most ambitious national environmental effort since Theodore Roosevelt and a virtually unknown initiative to desegregate access to public recreation and national parks in Washington, D.C. Where no presidential biographer has understood Lady Bird’s full impact, Julia Sweig is the first to draw substantially on her White House diaries and to place her center stage. In doing so, Sweig reveals a woman ahead of her time—and an accomplished strategist and politician in her own right. Winner of the Texas Book Award • Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bogard Weld Award

In this third installment of Tracey Devlyn's Nexus Spymasters series, readers will swoon over this opposites attract and secret identity story between a boudoir spy and a mysterious proprietress whose paths collide while searching for the same missing boy. Welcome to Nexus Spymasters, a Regency historical romance series by USA Today Bestselling author Tracey Devlyn. From ballrooms to boudoirs, these daring lord and lady spies will stop at nothing to win the war against Napoleon and fight for the one thing forbidden to them. . . love. He’s persuasive, alluring, and determined to have her—even if it destroys his carefully laid plans. Sydney Hunt has dedicated her life to protecting those in service from the machinations of noblemen like Viscount Danforth, a gentleman who spends more time in the boudoir than in the House of Lords. Now, the viscount wishes to engage her employment agency, though she can’t shake the feeling there’s more to his request than finding him a new butler. Determined to uncover his hidden motives, Sydney insists upon a lengthy, intrusive vetting process. Unfortunately, the more she’s around his silver tongue and emerald eyes, the more she falls under his spell, endangering her carefully built reputation—and a secret that, if uncovered, could destroy everything she holds dear. Spymaster Ethan deBeau, Lord Danforth, trades in the type of secrets wealthy wives whisper in the comforts of the bedroom—and he never misses an opportunity to serve the Crown. When the trail in locating a missing boy leads him to the Hunt Agency, he finds its proprietress even more enticing than the career promotion her information might grant him. Sydney is nothing like the sophisticated ladies he’s used to seducing, yet the notorious rake finds himself drawn further into her mysterious world, even if it complicates his mission. As Ethan turns the full force of his will on Sydney, she must ensure her heart remains shut or risk exposing her own secrets—and letting their attraction put them both in grave danger. First published in 2013 as A Lady's Secret Weapon. This remastered edition published in 2022.
