Diplomatic Incidents

(Blackstaff Press 2001)

 

Anna O’Connor is a beautiful, if slightly overweight ex-ballerina. As the wife of a successful Irish diplomat, she moves to Paris, city of her dreams. But the dream starts to turn into a nightmare when Micheal, a drunken, womanising Irish journalist comes to stay.

Her unattractive houseguest and workaholic husband are driving her to distraction when she meets Juan, a sexy, sophisticated and definitively attracted Spanish diplomat. More than a little smitten, she agrees to deliver a secret letter to a top Irish politician- an act  that will cause scandal, threatening her marriage and her husband’s career.

Set in glamorous locations – a ball at the Opera, a château in the French countryside, a luxury yacht in the Greek islands – this witty, flirty book romps through some unexpected  back corridors of diplomacy on its way to a surprising end.
