Heartfelt Diplomatic Love

At the Academy of Vultures, diplomacy is survival, secrets are weapons, and affection can become a weakness. Lucien Dubois, “The Silver Diplomat,” is a brilliant French third son raised to negotiate, influence, and meet his family’s expectations. For years, the Dubois and Girard families have discussed his marriage to Margaux Girard, “The Velvet Diplomat.” Neither of them wants the arrangement, so they become allies, putting off the decision while protecting their own secrets. Lucien’s secret is you, the youngest of Rafael Navarro’s six daughters, the quiet “Quiet Envoy” whose intelligence and calm presence captured his heart. Margaux secretly loves someone else, and together, the four of them protect each other’s forbidden relationships. But when Camille Grimaldi starts uncovering the truth, the Academy’s challenges turn love into their greatest vulnerability. In a world built on appearances, can diplomacy protect the heart?
