In the sleepless rhythm of the city, A'amakualenalena works long nights at a downtown library and spends the quiet hours after their shift diving into an underground chat forum where anonymity feels like oxygen. It's there they meet "Lotus," a woman whose messages are sharp, elegant, and charged with a heat that sneaks under A'amakualenalena's skin. Their connection grows fast-too fast. Midnight banter turns into slow-burn desire, and desire becomes nightly confessions neither of them can stop. But one thing stands out: A'amakualenalena has never heard Lotus' real voice. Whenever they trade voice notes or late-night calls, Lotus uses a digital mask that hides tone, age, accent... everything. All A'amakualenalena knows is that whatever lies beneath that distortion feels powerful. Dangerous. Magnetic. What A'amakualenalena doesn't know is that Lotus is actually Kamala Harris, a former Vice President who walked away from public life after her term ended-not from shame, but from exhaustion. After years under a relentless spotlight, Kamala craves a life where she can breathe, desire, and be desired without headlines or judgment. But anonymity is her safety net. Her real voice is too recognizable. Her presence too distinct. Her identity too explosive to reveal too soon. Still, the tension grows. The distorted whispers get hotter. The fantasies get bolder. And the pull between them becomes something that lives under A'amakualenalena's skin, haunting them even in daylight. As Kamala falls deeper, the anonymous person she wants to be however she is scared as she wants to be honest... but she also wants time-a little more time to just be a woman, not a name. When they finally agree to meet in person, everything A'amakualenalena thought they knew about Lotus-and everything Kamala has been terrified to reveal-comes crashing into the light.

A repost of an old fic for my girl PNC. DA era Kamala. I think this story was one of the precursors to 100 and Rising.

She was only supposed to fill in. Not fall in love. When Lauren Stone, a sharp-tongued Mississippi strategist with a talent for crisis management, steps in as temporary Chief of Staff for Senator Kamala Harris, she expects long hours, endless meetings, and a front-row seat to the barely contained chaos of American politics. What she doesn't expect is Kamala herself, composed, powerful, and completely off limits. Their relationship begins with stolen glances and late-night policy debates. But when a snowstorm traps them together during a campaign tour, boundaries blur, secrets crack open, and a quiet, aching intimacy takes root. Now back in D.C., Kamala is still her boss, Lauren is still on the job, and the rules are painfully clear. But desire doesn't care about propriety, and love never asks for permission. Between closed door negotiations and high stakes votes, the two women find themselves tangled in something neither of them can name and neither of them is willing to lose. Southern Substitution is a slow-burn political romance about power, longing, and the people we become when no one's watching.

Book 2 to secrets in the spotlight!!

It's 2004, and Barack Obama is a rising star in Illinois politics, balancing ambition with a calm, measured demeanor that earns him admiration and envy alike. Enter Kamala Harris, a sharp witted, yet terrifying prosecutor from California, visiting Chicago for a high-profile legal conference. From the moment they officially meet-at a heated panel debate that leaves sparks (and not the romantic kind) flying-it's clear: they loathe each other. Barack sees Kamala as intimidating and overbearing, while she finds his calm, polished charm infuriatingly smug. Yet, circumstances keep throwing them together, whether through mutual colleagues or high-stakes political events. What makes things worse? Kamala has an almost terrifying knack for intimidation, one that rattles even Barack's famously cool exterior. As political storms brew and personal vulnerabilities surface, their mutual disdain gives way to an unlikely alliance. But with ambition pulling them in different directions, and personal demons threatening to unravel them, can these two strong-willed individuals find common ground-or will their hatred consume them both? Read and find out!

The Running Hearts Series- Book One Senator Kamala Harris, an ambitious, powerful Black woman in her late 30s, is the youngest U.S. Senator from California and now a leading contender in the race for the presidency. With her polished image, elite education, and clean public record, she's a symbol of hope-especially for Black women across America. But Kamala has long buried a personal truth: she is attracted to women. Her political consultants have always advised her to keep that part of herself hidden, fearing the backlash could derail her career. During a campaign stop in Houston, Texas, Kamala visits a local school as part of her education initiative. There, she meets Kiana Matthews, a vibrant, passionate 28-year-old teacher and girls' basketball coach. Kiana is everything Kamala isn't-unapologetically authentic, a bit rough around the edges, and grounded in community. Kiana has an 8-year-old daughter, Zuri, who is wise beyond her years and immediately forms a bond with the senator. What starts as professional admiration quickly turns into something deeper. Kamala finds herself drawn to Kiana's warmth and strength, while Kiana is intrigued by the powerful, poised woman who seems to be quietly unraveling behind the scenes. But Kiana harbors secrets-ones that could destroy them both if they come to light: a hidden past involving Zuri's father, a scandal that once cost her a scholarship and nearly her teaching license, and a dangerous ex who hasn't truly let her go. As the campaign heats up, rumors begin to swirl. A political rival leaks intimate photos suggesting Kamala may be having an affair with a woman. Kiana is forced into hiding, and Kamala is faced with the biggest decision of her life: protect her image, or embrace who she truly is-even if it means sacrificing her dreams. Meanwhile, Zuri, caught between her mother's secrets and the senator's sudden presence in their lives, becomes an emotional anchor, revealing truths neither woman is ready to face.
