She controls the narrative. I break it open. We’re not supposed to want each other like this.
Leah Cross is an investigative journalist with a reputation for being relentless, fearless, and emotionally unavailable. When she uncovers a corruption scandal involving a rising senator, she knows this story could define her career. She just doesn’t expect the biggest complication to walk in wearing pearl earrings and a smile sharp enough to cut glass.
Sloane Merrick is the senator’s communications director — smart, strategic, and trained to make any crisis disappear. Her job is to protect the office from reporters like Leah. Her problem is that Leah asks questions that cut too deep, looks at her like she can see through the performance, and makes Sloane want to stop performing entirely.
As the scandal explodes, Leah and Sloane are pulled into an impossible collision: the journalist chasing the truth and the press secretary protecting the lie. Their attraction is instant, devastating, and completely off-limits. But when late-night texts turn into stolen kisses, and stolen kisses turn into something neither of them can control, the line between the story and the woman telling it disappears completely.
The truth is coming. The question is whether it will destroy them — or set them free.

Thread Count — A scene TOO HOT for Amazon
Leah and Sloane go shopping for new sheets together. It starts as an argument about thread count.
