Against the Vote

He was born into power. She was born to question it.

For years, the Manalo name ruled the country through influence, money, and politics. Their eldest son, Brent Manalo, was expected to follow the same path-smile for the cameras, defend the administration, and one day inherit his father's political empire.

Then he met Mika Salamanca.

The student activist who spent every rally criticizing everything his family stood for.

Their first meeting ended in an argument.
The second ended with her getting arrested.
The third changed everything.

As Brent slowly realizes that the policies he's defending are hurting the very people he promised to serve, he finds himself choosing between his father's legacy and his own conscience.

But when he brings Mika as his date to the Governor's Gala-the very event hosted by his father-the entire nation watches the Manalo dynasty begin to crack.

Some wars are fought in the streets.

Others are fought across the dinner table.
And sometimes...

The greatest act of rebellion is falling in love with the one person you're supposed to hate.
