Rising star Jack Christensen is the youngest man ever appointed a U.S. ambassador. A career diplomat just assigned to a European embassy, he has the perfect wife and all the right credentials. But despite having his dream job, something is missing, and he doesn't know what.
Then Lucas Carlton arrives at a reception with his American fiancée, and from the first handshake, he makes an impression that Jack can't dismiss. Lucas's position as the British liaison to the American embassy keeps them in constant contact—and keeps Jack constantly off-balance. After a passionate weekend together, they can't resist continuing the affair. Jack and Lucas know they're on thin ice. Diplomatic circles are notoriously conservative, and they each know that the right woman by their side makes a very significant contribution to their success. Will they make the correct decisions for both their professional and personal lives? Or will they need to sacrifice one for the other?
