We're five seasons into the popular romantic serial fiction blog, and the people around World Affairs Advisor Sharon Wheatly are juggling all kinds of issues. Her sister Susan, a dancer no long able to dance thanks to a devastating accident, has her first major success at choreography, and has moved in with Sharon's former date, reporter Max Epstein. Sharon's colleague on the Advisory Board, Al Eddington, is not dealing well with his wife's death, and is targeting Sharon with his anger.
But when President Mark Jerguessen's mother, Rose, decides to visit the White House, chaos erupts. A compromise set up by Sharon and the State Department to welcome the new German ambassador is nearly sabotaged when Rose decides to re-work the arrangements in the name of "correctness."
Then there's the trip to Europe that was supposed to be the easy one. Only everything that can go wrong, does. Worse yet, no matter how hard Sharon and Mark have been trying not to fall in love with each other, the conspiracy to get the two together has just gone international.
