Opposition Research. Beautifully Broken, #8

Power is supposed to be controlled. Love is not. Jonathan Pryce has spent his career mastering silence-knowing when to speak, when to hold, and when to let others believe they're in control. As Majority Whip, discipline is his currency, discretion his armor. But when a carefully guarded relationship with his security detail, Reid, becomes leverage in a quiet war of influence, Pryce discovers that restraint is no longer protection-it's a vulnerability.
Reid understands the cost of proximity. He knows what it means to want a man whose position can never afford truth, whose world runs on appearances and consequences. When unseen forces begin moving in the shadows-recordings resurface, questions repeat, and loyalty becomes dangerous-Reid steps closer to the threat, believing awareness can succeed where silence has failed. Instead, he disappears. Now Pryce faces an impossible choice: comply with a system designed to erase what he loves, or challenge the rules that made survival possible in the first place.
Because this was never just about scandal or power. It was about leverage. A gripping political thriller infused with slow-burn romance, Opposition Research is Book Two of the Majority Whip series-a story of love under surveillance, desire as liability, and the moment when choosing someone becomes the most dangerous act of all.
