Election season is upon us which means you are either all up on politics and you can’t get enough of it and you will want to submerse yourself in all things political OR you might want to avoid real life politics and just read the more fun less life changing kind in fiction!
I originally set out to bring you a list of political romances, but not all of these ended up being romances because I wanted to bring you books from this past year instead of books from the previous election years.
I think that this list of political fiction books will satisfy every reader.
Am I the Only One by E.K. Blair
Desperation had a flavor.
It was all Emma could taste as her life in Washington DC started to crumble before her.
In a city filled with prestige and American dreams also lay political fallacy and corruption—corruption she would soon find herself indulging in.
Emma would have done anything to save herself from the downfall, gone to any length, sacrificed her soul if needed.
What she didn’t realize was that someone else was more desperate to save their own life and that the worst was yet to come.
Power Play Series by Kennedy L Mitchell
Why settle for being a pawn when you’ve fought to be the queen.
It started with a shady business proposal I should’ve turned down. Instead, I flip the terms and change my life forever. Everyone thinks I’ll fail, but I’ll show them what this woman is capable of.
Throughout the campaign, I make powerful enemies in Washington, which I expect with my honesty and straightforward approach. It’s him I’m not prepared for.
Secret Service Agent Trey Benson is arrogant, rude, and, for unknown reasons, absolutely hates me.
To make matters worse, we’re stuck on the campaign trail together.
I want to kiss and strangle him every time we’re in the same room. And that damn mischievous smirk of his might be my willpower’s undoing.
But he’s a complication–our undeniable attraction a potential scandal.
And scandals destroy careers here in Washington.
What they can’t discover is he’s not my darkest secret.
I’ll play by their rules to win. After, all bets are off.
My name’s Randi Sawyer, and I refuse to fail.
A Presidential Affair Series by Jennifer Rebecca

Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing by Allison Winn Scotch
Cleo McDougal is a born politician. From congresswoman to senator, the magnetic, ambitious single mother now has her eye on the White House—always looking forward, never back. Until an estranged childhood friend shreds her in an op-ed hit piece gone viral.
With seven words—“Cleo McDougal is not a good person”—the presidential hopeful has gone from in control to damage control, and not just in Washington but in life.
Enter Cleo’s “regrets list” of 233 and counting. Her chief of staff has a brilliant idea: pick the top ten, make amends during a media blitz, and repair her reputation. But there are regrets, and there are regrets: like her broken relationship with her sister, her affair with a law school professor…and the regret too big to even say out loud.
But with risk comes reward, and as Cleo makes both peace and amends with her past, she becomes more empowered than ever to tackle her career, confront the hypocrites out to destroy her, and open her heart to what matters most—one regret at a time.
The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
At the height of the Cold War, two secretaries are pulled out of the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment of a lifetime. Their mission: to smuggle Doctor Zhivago out of the USSR, where no one dare publish it, and help Pasternak’s magnum opus make its way into print around the world. Glamorous and sophisticated Sally Forrester is a seasoned spy who has honed her gift for deceit all over the world–using her magnetism and charm to pry secrets out of powerful men. Irina is a complete novice, and under Sally’s tutelage quickly learns how to blend in, make drops, and invisibly ferry classified documents.
Forged by Sacrifice by LJ Evans
Leaving his Navy career behind, Mac Whittaker is ready to join his family on Capitol Hill and pursue the dream he’s had since childhood―a political career that’ll truly make a difference. He’s just missing one thing he needs to have the entire American fairy tale. He needs a woman he adores at his side.
When he finds the stunning and confident Georgie Astrella vacationing at his best friend’s beach house, he’s sure the pulsing in his veins means she’s the one.
Problem is, Georgie isn’t looking for a man or love. She’s just getting back on track after putting her goals aside for way too long. With the contract on her Grandma’s salon expiring, she can finally return to graduate school and bury herself in the law that’s always called to her.
She can’t afford for the intoxicating kiss she shares with the oh, so charming Mac-Macauley to turn into anything that requires her heart.
Fate has other ideas, throwing them together until neither of them can walk away from the attraction that thunders across their souls.
But her family’s past would make his future an impossibility.
They’ll have to decide just what they’re willing to sacrifice for love.
His First Lady by Avery Scott
The last thing on Kendall Bailey’s agenda is romance. Her speechwriting job for the Michael Reese presidential campaign is more than enough to keep her busy. But when she’s asked to play the role of Michael’s girlfriend as part of a publicity stunt—and her dream job is dangled before her as bait—she can’t say no. Surely she can play the doting future First Lady without getting emotionally—and physically—involved with the sexy, charismatic Michael…right?
Michael isn’t looking for love, either. He’s in the middle of the biggest campaign he’s ever faced and needs to stay on task. If he thought the American public would elect a bachelor, he’d be perfectly happy to remain single for the duration of his campaign. But the lovely, whip-smart Kendall tests his resolve at every turn. Winning the campaign won’t be easy. Walking away from his fake girlfriend when the charade ends? That might prove impossible.
With all eyes on them, it’s not long before their fake relationship—and combustible chemistry—spirals out of control, and the lines between fantasy and reality blur. If they aren’t careful, it won’t only be Michael’s campaign on the line, but also their hearts…
So which one of these political fiction books will you start with first?
