Book description: Leila's life will be thrown off kilter by her encounter with Clay, who will reveal himself to be a secret agent. She will end up becoming involved in a clandestine operation of international import that could compromise the political balance of the entire world. Leila will cross continents, endangering her own life, but most of all fighting against the attraction she feels toward her fascinating adventure companion. Francesca Rossini tells us a proper spy story involving international intrigue, abductions, and fragile balances of power, accompanied by themes from other genres such as courtship, love, and the meeting of two opposite worlds which inevitably attract one another, at least on an emotional level. As a novel with a specific historical setting, the plot also projects the reader into the variegated and changing world of the time, beginning with the very concept of family, where we begin to get acquainted with the idea of a woman finding herself alone due to a failed relationship, often with one or more children to care for, and who rolls up her sleeves to carry on with pride and, most of all, dignity. Leila fully embodies the modern woman who does not hold back from pursuing what is good and just, and who manages to find personal strengths that, in certain situations, she didn't even know she possessed. As a backdrop we find the boisterous America of the 1980s with all of its myths and contradictions.
