Capital Hearts: Chapter 3 — The D.C. Blackmail Video That Exposed Queer Desire and Power

The Founders’ Gala spills into the night, cameras flashing as Preston Langston smiles beside his wife. But across the street, Carter Brooks holds a secret that can break him. A phone slipped into his pocket carries a video from earlier that evening: Preston and Sinclair Harper in a hotel room, pressed body to body, undeniable in their desire. The fixer who built his reputation protecting others is now the scandal himself. With a client already under blackmail for offshore accounts, Preston’s control unravels. The question is no longer whether the truth will come out—it’s who will use it first.
