An up-and-coming young journalist, Zoe Hare finds herself caught up in the battle between two international media magnates, archenemies and bitter rivals Miles Brewster and Lord Scrope, and torn between personal feelings and professional ambition.

          Zoe Hare is an up-and-coming young Washington journalist when she catches the attention of international media magnates – and bitter enemies – Miles Brewster and Lord Scrope. Brewster is a wellborn American whose reserve masks a steely resolve and a painful past. Gerald Scrope pulled himself up out of London’s slums and still relies on the streetfighter tactics that made him a millionaire. 

          Both men have guilty secrets, ticking time bombs – leading back to the president of the United States and his wife, a fatal car crash in which Brewster was involved, and Scrope’s blackmail of the British defense secretary. When Brewster takes over a British newspaper and moves his base to London, Zoe crosses the Atlantic to work for him as a feature writer. As she finds herself losing her heart to her enigmatic boss and pulled into the magnates’ ruthless battle for power, Lord Scrope suddenly makes her the offer of a lifetime.
