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.

Kamala's Choice
Kamala Harris is a rising political star-a first-year senator with her sights set on the presidency. She has the intelligence, the experience, and the vision to lead the country. The only problem? She's single, and in the ruthless world of politics, a picture-perfect family is just as important as policy. Her team insists that without a spouse by her side, she doesn't stand a chance. Determined to secure her shot at the White House, Kamala begrudgingly agrees to a series of carefully curated dates with eligible bachelors who fit the bill. But as she endures one awkward dinner after another, she finds herself increasingly drawn to someone completely unexpected-Noah, the confident, sharp-witted bartender who serves drinks at the upscale lounge where Kamala's dates are held. Noah is everything Kamala isn't-young, unconventional, and utterly uninterested in the world of politics. And yet, the connection between them is undeniable. Kamala has always believed she's straight, but as their flirtation deepens into something more, she's forced to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Now, with the presidency within reach, Kamala faces an impossible choice: follow the carefully scripted path to power, or risk it all for a woman who could cost her everything.Complete

Running Hearts | A Kamala Harris Fanfic
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.Complete

In the Oval Office, there's no room for mistakes-and certainly no room for reckless attraction. But all it takes is one night, one glance, and one dangerously captivating woman to threaten everything she's worked for. Enter Jasmine Ti'ell Monroe-Hollywood's brightest star and a three-time Oscar winner with a sharp tongue and zero tolerance for nonsense. Jasmine isn't just beautiful-she's fierce. Outspoken. Fearless. Whether she's calling out industry hypocrisy or defending those who can't defend themselves, Jasmine has never been the type to sit down or shut up. And she's certainly not about to start now. When Kamala and Jasmine cross paths at a glittering charity gala, sparks fly-immediate, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. Kamala has admired Jasmine's work for years, secretly captivated by the woman who refuses to play by anyone's rules but her own. But nothing on-screen could prepare her for the force of nature standing before her-one who isn't afraid to challenge her, tease her, or make her question everything. For Jasmine, Kamala Harris is more than just a political icon. She's the woman who shattered ceilings and redefined power-a woman Jasmine has always found intriguing. But beneath the presidential polish, she senses something deeper. A loneliness. A longing. And for the first time in years, Jasmine wants to know what's hiding behind the mask of the most powerful woman in the world. What begins as a playful flirtation soon spirals into something neither of them can control. Secret meetings. Stolen touches. Late-night phone calls that turn into something more.

As I gather my things, my hands trembling slightly, Kamala's final words follow me out of the car: "Rest up this weekend. You're going to need it."Complete
