The Matador and the Ambassador’s wife are having a torrid, secret affair. Or so they think.
The seemingly proper and decorous life in diplomatic circles hides undercurrents of intrigue, ambition, and treachery.
When duty confronts desire the result is all too often danger.
***
Magda and the Matador met at a bullfight and have been meeting ever since, believing they have hidden their passionate affair behind the proper protocols of Embassies and society events on two continents.
Magda and her husband Jan, the Ambassador, are very fond of each other but their relationship has never caught fire. When she first saw Raphael, breathless and bloody from his victory in the bullring, she was seared by flames of desire. Determined to maintain her enviable position as the Ambassador’s wife while simultaneously indulging her secret passions with the Matador, Magda has no idea how dangerous her love triangle is becoming.
Raphael and Jan both run in worlds where the slightest miscalculation, the slightest misstep, can mean injury, defeat, or death. It’s bound to happen sometime. The only real question is how many others will be hurt by the flying debris of misinformation and deceit.
