Elara Vance is a political firehouse. At thirty-two, she's already a former Congresswoman and a known D.C. power player, used to burning down every obstacle in her path. But when the U.S. Ambassador to the UK dies unexpectedly, Elara is shipped across the Atlantic to take his place-a political fixer sent to mend a disastrous, post-Brexit trade relationship.
Her new, gilded cage is Winfield House, the official London residence. Her mission is complicated by her ex-husband, the Secretary of State, Jonathan Vance, who controls her career from Washington, relentlessly testing her strength with every passive-aggressive critique.
But Elara's biggest threat is waiting in London: Julian Callow, the charismatic, fiercely intelligent UK Foreign Secretary.
Julian is Elara's direct negotiating adversary, the man fighting tooth-and-nail for British interests, and the only person who can stop her mission cold. Their first meeting is a brutal political confrontation disguised as diplomatic courtesy, setting the stage for a ruthless, exhilarating battle of wills.
As the lines blur between saving a country and sinking her career, Elara finds herself facing the one thing she never planned for: an undeniable, treacherous connection with the enemy. In a world where politics is war, can a forbidden affair cost her everything she's fought for?
