Diplomacy by Zahra Owens
Jack Christensen has everything he ever wanted. He's a rising star in US Diplomacy, the youngest man to have been appointed as an Ambassador of the United States. A career diplomat who's just been sent to a politically interesting Embassy in Europe, he has the perfect wife, speaks five languages and has all the right credentials, yet there's something missing and he doesn't quite know what. Then Lucas Carlton walks into an Embassy reception and introduces himself and his American fianc e. From the first handshake, the young Englishman makes an impression on Jack that leaves him confused and uncharacteristically insecure. Lucas' position as the British liaison to the American Embassy means they are forced to work together closely and they have a hard time denying the attraction between them, despite their current relationships. When their women decide to go on a weekend trip together, Jack and Lucas start a passionate relationship, which continues long after their partners return. Diplomatic circles are notoriously conservative though, and they each know that the right woman by their side makes a very significant contribution to their success. Will they be able to make the right choices in their professional and personal lives? Or will they need to sacrifice one for the other?Zahra Owens was born in Europe just before Woodstock and the Mondlandung and was given a much more difficult-to-pronounce name by her non-English-speaking parents. Being a typical Waterman, she was not born with the ability to adapt, and the people in her environment learned to expect the unexpected. She started writing fairy tales in first grade. In the same year, she met her first English-speaking friends, and throughout the years, there should be an increasing number of them from all over the world. Formerly, she was the stereotypical lone wolf, accustomed to spending his time with adults.
She was on a quest to find a vent for her wild fantasies, and she was looking for a reason to do so. As a Intensive Care Nurse, she was not happy for long, and neither was she as a Computer Specialist. Her mother's hobby is collecting high school diplomas, but she didn't discover her true calling until she was three years old. She earned her living back then and spent her evenings refining her writing skills. Naturally, she wrote her texts in the English language, which she also enjoyed reading.
Then she discovered the final piece of the puzzle that had been missing from her career as a writer, namely her Lektorin, who had been unavoidable for a Nichtmuttersprachlerin. The fact that the Internet has made the world a smaller place has brought them readers and readers from all over the world. And she could not be happier as a result.
