Cassie Harper has one rule: never date the opposition.

When the ambitious San Francisco Chronicle journalist meets Luke Holt, the attraction is immediate. He's a veteran, a small business owner who can fix anything with a circuit board, and the first person in years to make her feel seen. For the first time, Cassie lets her guard down.

Then she discovers his voting record — and her world shifts on its axis.

Suddenly, their private romance becomes a public battlefield. Her progressive inner circle questions her integrity. His conservative family doubts her heart. And when a powerful media figure targets her career, Cassie is forced to choose between the life she's built and the man she's grown to love.
Loving Luke means risking everything — her credibility, her career, and her community. But walking away means losing the only person who truly understands the woman behind the headlines.

In a country divided by red and blue, can love survive the grey areas?
