Before the piano bar. Before the fall. Before he lost her trust...

Rising political strategist Michael Reeves has one mission: help Elena Jefferson win the most brutal political campaign in Washington. Together, they make an unstoppable team: sharp minds, late nights, and an undeniable connection simmering beneath their professional partnership.

But when a single envelope lands on Michael’s desk, everything changes.

A hidden scandal.
A family secret.
A ruthless enemy determined to destroy them both.

Now, Michael faces an impossible choice: Expose the truth and ruin Elena’s life… or take the fall and lose her forever.

As the campaign hurtles toward election day, anonymous threats escalate, loyalty is tested, and the media closes in. In the shadows of power, love and ambition collide. And behind one unfinished melody lies a truth neither of them can face.
