Armani King is a successful and seemingly untouchable woman in the political playground of Washington, D.C. She runs a thriving charity organization, her twins are preparing for college, and the icing on the cake is her marriage to famed Congressman Nathan King. But behind the polished façade, her marriage is falling apart. Everything shifts when Nathan launches his reelection campaign and hires Minah Savoy, his new PR manager. Minah is sharp-witted, ambitious, and fearless-a young queer strategist who is exactly what Nathan needs for a successful run... and exactly what Armani never knew she needed for herself. From late-night conversations behind closed doors to whispered declarations in the sanctity of Minah's bed, to the full-blown public scandal that threatens to unravel everything, their journey forces them to confront the truth, their identity, and their courage. A Scandal With the Press is the story of two Black women fighting for joy in a world that thrives on tearing them apart, and learning that loving openly might be the bravest act of all.

"Why did you show up at my school? Why did you corner me in the bathroom? Why did you kiss me? What did you mean you can pleasure me in more ways than one?" So many questions were running through my head and not having answers was driving me out my mind. "I can't answer any of those questions-" "Why the hell not?!" My hands were bawled into fist as she looked down at her own hands, as if contemplating what she should do. "Are you here as my patient, or as a personal matter?"

"I kissed you because I had been wanting to do that since the moment I laid eyes on you. I wanted to know how your lips would quiver under mine. How they would part as I stuck my hands in between your legs and circled your clit. And as for the last thing," she ran her hand through my hair and pulled my head back. Her lips went to my ear, "you knew exactly what I meant," a whimper left my mouth as she started nibbling on my ear. "I'm going to fuck you now Miss Wilson," I felt my inside starting to burn as she ran her tongue down my neck. She started sucking on my collarbone making my knees go weak. "And if I'm being honest," she moved back up to my neck and once her tongue touched that spot a moan slipped out mouth. This seemed to arouse her as her grip on my hair tightened. "I haven't felt this excited to fuck someone in a while,"
