Mark Grimaldi made a brilliant career in His Majesty's secret service and rose to the rank of general's epaulets. Now he has been asked to head the entire British foreign intelligence service, but with one condition: a person holding such a high position must certainly be married. Let’s say Mark has a wife, but there’s a problem: he and the beautiful Nicole broke up with a scandal immediately after the wedding . Will the newly-minted general be able to persuade the offended woman to start living together again, even if only for show to others? Or maybe not for show? Perhaps, under the cold ashes of resentment and misunderstanding, there is still a spark of former passion that just needs to be allowed to flare up?
