Love Story Picture Library #1422

Nicola Bennet’s knack for Italian lands her a job with the British Trade Mission, but her linguistic skills soon draw her into a web of secrets and suspicion. As she works alongside Smith and Miss Figgis, the line between diplomacy and espionage begins to blur—especially when Ward Mason enters the picture with his own hidden agenda.

On the day of her engagement party to Phil, Jane finds herself drawn to Chet, a charming American with just twelve hours left in London before his flight home. As they spend the afternoon together, their connection deepens in ways neither expected. When Chet asks Jane to leave with him, the decision weighs heavily—especially as she stands at the threshold of the American embassy, the moment of choice drawing near.
