"Politics was supposed to be about power, not passion. But when I cross paths with Adrian - the golden boy of the political elite - I realize some battles aren't fought in parliament, but in the heart."
Quinn never wanted the spotlight. She only wanted her voice heard. But when ambition pulls her into the ruthless game of politics, she's forced to navigate lies, alliances, and betrayals.
Adrian is everything she's been warned against: powerful, untouchable, and far too dangerous to fall for. Yet every glance, every debate, every stolen moment drags her closer to him.
In a world where love is weakness and loyalty can cost your life, Quinn must decide: will she play the game... or rewrite the rules?
Hearts of State is a political love story full of passion, betrayal, and the impossible choice between power and love.

Identity Crisis (BWWM) COMPLETE

Joshua Livingston was exactly what America needed: he was very young, and his political views could win votes easily. His only problem was that he needed Naomi to make him even more ready for the upcoming election. It was simple: win voters' hearts, win the election, protect America. But with Naomi Washington being so close to him, could it still be simple? Or would he continuously have to remind himself that she was his advisor and nothing but?

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.
