Downloading Under Oath, Under Wraps

Under Oath, Under Wraps is a taut and emotionally resonant political drama with the pulse of a psychological thriller and the slow-burn heat of forbidden romance.

Ashley Bentley has built a career on control. As the District Attorney for Los Angeles County, she’s known for her precision, ambition, and the kind of unflinching conviction that wins headlines and silences opposition. But behind every flawless press photo and tailored blazer lies a woman who has sacrificed more than anyone knows—especially her truth.

When a mysterious letter arrives with a single, haunting question—“Do you ever think about what justice costs?”—Ashley’s carefully constructed world begins to fracture. What starts as a cryptic message soon escalates into a campaign of unnervingly personal notes, photographs, and warnings that someone from her past remembers her far too well. And they want her reckoning.

Enter Special Agent Simone Vega: fiercely intelligent, unshakably calm, and tasked with uncovering the source of the threats. But as Simone digs deeper, what she finds isn’t just a political target—it’s a woman haunted by the version of herself she left behind. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry simmering between them.

As Ashley faces pressure from political allies, the media, and the ghosts of D.C., she must decide what kind of legacy she’s willing to leave behind—and whether the armor she’s worn for years is still protecting her, or simply keeping her alone.

Tautly written with razor-sharp dialogue and layered intimacy, Under Oath, Under Wraps explores the cost of silence, the weight of visibility, and the complicated ways we try to outrun our own truths. It’s a story about power, queerness, political survival—and what it means to be seen.

For fans of Scandal, The Good Wife, and character-driven romantic suspense, this novel offers a magnetic heroine, a slow-burn queer romance, and a timely exploration of public identity versus private cost.
