He is snobby, he is English, and he is handsome enough to be a distraction from her goal of graduating first in her class. It is 1984, and Rebecca has to prove she belongs in a man's world.

When Richard meets Rebecca, he falls in love.

Thirty-five years later, Richard has finally achieved his lifelong dream: he is Prime Minister of Great Britain. Handsome and popular, the English aristrocrat has everything he ever wanted. But when a scandal erupts accusing him of lying and stealing, Richard must answer for a secret past that has shaped his life – and a secret love that will never die.
