Congressman Barnes

Elara Holbrook has spent her entire life fighting for a seat at the table. Now, she finally has one on Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, the seat is in Congressman James Buchanan Barnes's office.

Their first meeting is a disaster. Their working relationship isn't much better. But somewhere between political battles, late nights, relentless banter, and discovering they may have misjudged each other, the line between professional and personal starts getting dangerously blurry.

But some things from the past don't stay buried forever.

And Bucky Barnes knows better than most that sometimes the most dangerous secrets are the ones you don't know you're keeping. So when the danger circling Elara begins looking frighteningly familiar, protecting his staff assistant stops being a professional obligation long before either of them is willing to admit what she's become to him.

A slow-burn Bucky Barnes romance set against Capitol Hill politics, buried secrets, forced proximity, mystery, found family, mutual pining, and two fiercely independent people discovering that letting someone stay might be the most terrifying thing either of them has ever done.
