In a world on the brink of war, two hearts must navigate shadows of uncertainty.
Inga Kleins carefree life in New York takes a dramatic turn when she sails for Berlin, Germany, to serve as the secretary for Americas ambassador.

As Europe hurtles toward World War I, Benedicts determination to keep America out of the conflict adds to the already tense atmosphere. Despite their relentless sparring, Inga and Benedict succeed in keeping the embassy afloat through one crisis after another. But when they run out of diplomatic options, a marriage of convenience may be Ingas only hope of escape from the impending war.
