The Ambassador's Wife (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988644415)

Twin Sisters, Kate Stanley and Jennifer Barrett, could not have been more different, nor have lived opposite lives. While Kate pursued her career to earn a doctorate in history, Jennifer chose romance and married her college sweetheart. Now, five years later, Kate is an accomplished history professor at New York University, while Jennifer is the ambassador's wife. But when Jennifer suddenly goes missing, it's up to Kate to step into Jennifer's world and pose as the ambassador's wife, in order to divert a scandal and save her sister. As Kate assumes Jennifer's identity, she must learn how to adjust to her new role as the ambassador's wife, both publicly and privately. She must publicly display the image of the ever supportive and dutiful wife, while surviving the internal turmoil within the walls of the estate, sparked by the embassy staff. But most importantly, she must also convince the world that she is madly in love with her new husband, the ambassador...

John Barrett is the U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye and has been married to Jennifer for five years. While the world perceives them to be the ideal happy couple, behind the iron curtain, nothing could be further from the truth. Sex, lies, lust and betrayal have plagued the Barrett's marriage for years. Pretending to love one another in public, while hating each other in private, became a reality John only knew too well. But when Kate assumes Jennifer's identity, pretending to love Kate surprisingly becomes easier. The mandatory state dinners suddenly become tolerable; perhaps, even rather enjoyable. The forced smiles feel more genuine. And the staged kisses ignite a burning sensation deep within his heart, that leaves him bewildered. The art of pretending has slowly become less of a demanding trivial task, and has evolved into something more authentic and real. In a world rooted in political theater, where hate can easily be disguised for love, and love for hate, when does the fine line between pretending to love end and falling in love begin?
