Before I tell you about this heart-wrenching, sinful, emotionally devastating mess of a novel, let’s clear something up.
Apparently, if you use an em dash, your book must’ve been written by AI. Wild, right? I’ll be using mine proudly—because proper punctuation isn’t a crime. But hiding who you are might be.
This is a forbidden gay romance about the cost of denial.
A closeted Republican senator, fifty-three, powerful, and buried so deep in the lie he built his career on, he can’t see a way out. He’s married. Respected. A man who passed every anti-LGBTQ+ policy he could get his hands on.
Enter a ruthless, tech billionaire. Younger. Richer. Smarter. And holding the senator’s secret like a loaded gun.
For two million dollars in campaign money, the senator agrees to whatever he wants—sexually, privately, completely. But this isn’t just blackmail. It’s personal. The billionaire’s younger brother was destroyed by the laws the senator helped pass. This is revenge. Or it was.
Because something shifts.
Pleasure becomes obsession. Power flips. And somewhere between manipulation and control, something real slips through the cracks.
Grief. Lust. Fury. Desire.
If you’re looking for a tidy little love story, keep scrolling.
This is a dark MM romance full of secrets, lies, and broken men. It’s an age-gap, enemies-to-lovers love story wrapped in scandal, shame, and heat.
A political queer romance about blackmail, betrayal and the possibility of something more.
