Skyler (SK) has spent his life avoiding the sharp edges of politics, quietly building a future on his own terms. But when his father-an iron-fisted political titan-forces him to join the mayoral race, Skyler is pulled into a world he never chose. His reluctance doesn't matter. His life is no longer his own. Enter Jacey (JLG): brilliant, connected, and exactly the kind of campaign manager Skyler needs to survive the storm. But behind the charm and sharp suits lies a devastating truth-Jacey is also his father's kept secret. A kept man. A betrayal wrapped in beauty. A sugar baby tangled in buried loyalties. What begins as necessity spirals into something dangerous-reckless glances, stolen moments, and a longing that blurs every line. But in a game built on manipulation, Skyler can't ignore the truth: he might be falling for the one person he should never completely trust. In a world built on greed and masked intentions, Skyler must decide: can he trust the man who might be the only person who understands him-or is Jacey just another pawn in a game Skyler never agreed to play? Politics is a game. Love wasn't supposed to be part of the strategy. In the wreckage of legacy and lies, can love survive-or is it just another illusion?
