Anya Katz thrives on control and moral certainty, preferring solo work to messy collaboration. Gabe Hunt radiates charm and good looks while pursuing victory at any cost. When these campaign staffers clash over strategy and ethics, their professional fights mask growing personal attraction. Over ten years of political work, they navigate phone banks and takeout dinners, celebrity fundraisers and presidential debates. The demanding world of campaigns transforms them both as they shift from enemies to colleagues to friends to lovers. But politics demands sacrifices, and their relationship faces its ultimate test when professional ambitions turn them into bitter rivals. Anya and Gabe must decide whether their love can survive the very world that brought them together, or if their passion for making history will destroy what they built.
