President Jackson Reid has spent his first term as Commander-in-Chief holding together a crumbling marriage and hiding a truth that could destroy everything. When his high-profile divorce erupts across headlines, his political future appears to be unraveling. But in the quiet halls of power, he finds an unexpected connection with the last person anyone would suspect: Nathan Prescott, the stoic Republican Speaker of the House.
Their relationship begins as a cautious alliance-two political opposites carrying the weight of their offices and their pasts. But late-night conversations turn into stolen moments, and soon, the most powerful men in Washington are caught in a secret romance that defies tradition, expectation, and party lines.
When a leaked photo threatens to expose everything, Jackson and Nathan must choose: protect their careers or risk it all for love. What begins as scandal becomes a movement, as voters across the nation rally behind their honesty, courage, and vulnerability. In a stunning political and personal twist, Jackson's campaign is reborn-and he wins re-election by a landslide, not in spite of their relationship, but because of it.
Tender, bold, and full of heart, Across the Aisle is a story about the cost of authenticity, the courage it takes to live your truth, and the kind of love that can change not just lives-but history.
