di Moagi Sharp (Autore)

Moagi Sharp, 2025

In the labyrinthine corridors of power and the hushed elegance of Washington D.C., where every handshake holds a hidden agenda and every smile conceals a strategy, two souls destined for collision find themselves drawn into an irresistible, high-stakes romance. Mary Davies is a brilliant, idealistic young policy analyst with a fiery passion for social justice. Arriving in D.C. with a fresh perspective and an unwavering moral compass, she's determined to make a real difference, even if it means challenging the established order. Her intelligence and integrity immediately catch the eye of her colleagues and rivals alike, but her naivety regarding the city's darker undercurrents leaves her vulnerable. Joe Maxwell is D.C.'s golden boy – a charismatic, sharp-witted political strategist, known for his ability to spin any narrative and win unwinnable campaigns. Beneath his confident, charming exterior, however, lies a past steeped in quiet ambition and a pragmatism born of hard-won lessons. He's loyal to his powerful, formidable mentor, Senator Powell, a man whose influence spans decades and whose methods often skirt the edges of ethical grey. Mary is working passionately on a landmark bill designed to protect vulnerable communities – a bill that directly threatens the interests of Senator Powell's most influential donors. Joe, bound by loyalty and his career, is tasked with dismantling Mary's efforts, using every strategic tool at his disposal. Caught between their burgeoning feelings and their professional loyalties, Mary and Joe embark on a tempestuous, clandestine romance. Their stolen moments are filled with passionate debates, tender confessions, and the intoxicating thrill of forbidden love. But the whispers of Washington are relentless, and secrets seldom stay hidden. The supporting cast complicates their world: · Sinah: Mary's fiercely loyal, street-smart best friend and fellow policy wonk. She's both Mary's confidante and her skeptical voice of reason, constantly reminding her of D.C.'s cutthroat nature, but always ready to have her back. · Olga: A cunning, ambitious political operative, and a protégée of Senator Powell. Olga sees Joe as her professional peer and perhaps more, and she revels in manipulating situations to her advantage, often at Mary's expense. She's a formidable rival for both Joe's attention and professional standing. · Jane: A seasoned D.C. journalist, cynical but with a surprising core of integrity. Jane is a friend and mentor to Mary, offering crucial insights into the city's power dynamics and occasionally feeding her anonymous tips that could either save or destroy Mary's career – and her relationship with Joe. As the critical bill approaches a vote, the pressure on Mary and Joe becomes unbearable. A public scandal orchestrated by Olga, potentially implicating both Mary and Joe, threatens to expose their relationship and shatter their careers. Joe is forced to make an impossible choice: protect his mentor and his future in the establishment, or risk everything for the woman who has shown him a different path – a path defined by integrity and love. "Whispers of Washington" is an electrifying journey into the heart of power, where ambition clashes with idealism, and the price of true love might just be everything. Can Mary and Joe navigate the treacherous currents of politics and betrayal, or will the very city that brought them together ultimately tear them apart? Dive into a world where every secret is a weapon, and the most dangerous game of all is love. Perfect for readers who love: · Enemies-to-lovers tropes within a high-stakes setting · Smart, driven protagonists · Intrigue and political maneuverings
