Strings and Schemes

Raina Addams has always lived in the shadow of her father's political career. As the daughter of the US Ambassador, every move she makes is watched, every decision scrutinized. Her life is one of polished appearances and calculated diplomacy-until Zayn Malik enters the picture.

Zayn is everything Raina's world isn't: spontaneous, reckless, and dangerously charming. A rockstar with a past that refuses to stay hidden, he's used to breaking the rules and living in the limelight. When Raina meets him through her best friend, Louis Tomlinson-another diplomat's son who is blissfully careless about who knows his family ties-she's drawn into a world of excitement, music, and chaotic passion that threatens to undo everything she's ever known.

As the connection between Raina and Zayn grows stronger, she finds herself torn between the rigid expectations of her diplomatic life and the intoxicating freedom Zayn offers. But in a world where appearances are everything, and power can change the game in an instant, Raina must decide how much she's willing to risk for the love she never expected.

Strings and Schemes is a tale of forbidden love, secret desires, and the tangled web of diplomacy, fame, and power. When the heart leads the way, Raina will have to learn just how much control she's willing to give up-and how much she's willing to fight for.
