Love and Politics is a Nigerian romance-thriller that weaves passion, betrayal, and power into one dangerous story.
When Adesewa Babatunde's half-sister vanishes on her wedding day, Adesewa is forced into her place-marrying billionaire heir Adekola Adeyemi in a secret alliance meant to protect her father's political rise. But what begins as duty soon becomes desire.
Behind the veil, Adesewa balances her double life: media darling and digital culture influencer by day, secret hacker by night. When an encrypted flash drive lands in her hands-signed with the same code linked to her mother's mysterious death-Adesewa uncovers a conspiracy that could destroy everything.
As politics sharpen into war and hidden enemies circle closer, Adesewa and Adekola must navigate lies, loyalty, and the dangerous pull of forbidden love. But in a world where secrets are currency and power is deadly, can love truly survive the cost of betrayal?

The Stain of Power
When ambition tastes like sin, who pays the price? In the corridors of Abuja's elite, Senator Damilare "Dami" Adeyemi stands on the brink of the presidency-a man groomed for greatness, adored by the masses, and feared by his enemies. But one forbidden night ignites a scandal that spirals into a national nightmare. She is Binta Yusuf, the beautiful, grieving wife of a decorated colonel. He is the rising star who should have stayed away. Their secret affair is a whisper that becomes a weapon, unleashing a storm of blackmail, betrayal, and bloodshed that threatens to bring down not just a man, but a nation. As leaked tapes rock the media, assassins stalk the streets of the capital, and Senate vultures circle, Dami must decide what matters more-his love for the woman who became his weakness, or the power that once defined him. But power is never surrendered; it is stolen, bargained, or buried with the dead. And in the shadows, a vengeful general, a cunning fixer, and a relentless journalist tighten the noose around his neck. From secret weddings to explosive hearings, from whispered hashtags to the echo of car bombs, this is a story of love twisted by ambition, betrayal bought with blood, and redemption paid at a devastating price. Will Dami rise again as a reformer-or return as a ghost of what power once made him? The Stain of Power is a masterful blend of political suspense, forbidden romance, and heart-stopping intrigue set against the volatile pulse of modern Nigeria. Every chapter bleeds with tension, passion, and the haunting truth: sometimes the cost of power is everything you ever loved.Complete
