Playing For Keep

A political marriage for convenience. A passionate game where hearts are the collateral.

Architectural firm owner Arabella Thorn trusts no man. Congressman Aiden Price can't afford a scandal. They are two ambitious players who need a strategic alliance—and they agree to a marriage purely for convenience.

For Arabella, the bargain is a shield for her unplanned pregnancy and a lifeline for her sick mother. For Aiden, it’s a non-negotiable insurance policy against any career-ending gossip. Love is strictly off the table.

But the cold, calculated lines of their bargain blur in the heat of close quarters. The tension between them ignites into a searing, undeniable passion.

Everything shatters when a secret from Arabella's past—a betrayal she never saw coming—is exposed, threatening to ruin Aiden's political career and force Arabella to question her deepest beliefs about men and marriage.

In the high-stakes world of Washington D.C., where ambition clashes with desire, will a secret destroy their marriage of convenience, or is their heart-stopping affair the only thing worth fighting for?

All is fair in love and politics.
