His Silent Flame

A powerful President, late forties, charismatic, authoritative, married to his elegant but ruthless First Lady, their image flawless, their marriage a performance, his heart elsewhere, his love forbidden, a brilliant Black woman in her early thirties, once his speechwriter and policy advisor, fearless, bold, the only one who saw him as a man not a President, their affair discovered, her career erased, her name blacklisted, her life reduced to survival, a small apartment, late nights of work, therapy sessions, protective of her four-year-old autistic son, a boy fragile, prone to unpredictable seizures, her ex abusive, her childhood harsh, her father's words echoing, "you'll have to work twice as hard to get what half those white folks have," scars inside and out, trust shattered, heart guarded, yet she fights, not for herself but for her son, a secret life in the shadows, leading a hidden team, activists, fixers, hackers, exposing corruption, dismantling power, fixing everyone's mess but never her own, the President never letting go, calling in the night, aching, desperate, promising love, she resisting, knowing his heart is hers but his world belongs to his wife, the First Lady watching, calculating, unwilling to let Naomi destroy the empire she built, Washington a battlefield of secrets, lies, betrayals, Naomi caught between a man she swore she would never love again, a child she must protect at all costs, and a dangerous double life that could bring down the most powerful office in the world, love and politics colliding, truth a weapon, nothing staying hidden forever.
