She had three rules in life: fight for what's right, never back down, and-most importantly-never trust a politician. And yet, here she was, about to work for one.
When idealistic political strategist Emery Haven walks into the leadership convention for The Forward Party, she expects to leave with a new boss she can respect-someone who will finally put climate change at the top of the agenda. What she doesn't expect is Theo Mercer, a sharp-tongued, power-hungry pragmatist whose priorities lie in military spending and global strategy, not environmental policy. From the moment they meet, their worldviews clash in a heated debate that ends with Theo being announced as the party's new leader.
Now, forced to work together in the heart of political warfare, Emery and Theo engage in a battle of wits, ideals, and undeniable chemistry. As Emery fights to push her policies forward, she begins to see cracks in Theo's ruthless exterior-and he, in turn, is drawn to the fire that makes her impossible to ignore. But in the cutthroat world of politics, trust is a dangerous gamble, and winning the war of ideas might mean losing the one thing neither of them expected-their hearts.
Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, political intrigue, and razor-sharp banter, The Forward Agenda is a sizzling, slow-burn novel about power, ambition, and the fine line between love and rivalry.
