For eleven years, Kamala Harris's marriage to Doug Emhoff had been her anchor-ten of them filled with passion, late-night laughter, and promises whispered into the dark. But the eleventh had been different. Distance had crept in, silent and cold, settling into the spaces they used to fill together. With Kamala now the Democratic nominee, her days were devoted to the American people; her nights, to silence and the weight of an empty bed. Opposition came dressed in fine linen and red soles, not just in the press or on debate stages, but in the form of a past lover, someone who'd once known her better than she knew herself. On the campaign trail, as the demands of leadership threatened to swallow her whole, love kindled unexpectedly from the ashes.

What starts as professionalism quickly turns into something neither of them expected: late nights, unspoken tension, and feelings that refuse to stay hidden.
But when old wounds and new chaos threaten to pull them apart, Beyoncé and Dana are forced to decide what they're really willing to risk pride, peace, or each other.
