Condor One: Book Five
When former President of the United States David Windsor is appointed the American ambassador to the Court of St. James, it necessitates a move to England. Uprooting his family and moving his staff, David and his husband, ex-Secret Service Agent Shane Thompson-Windsor, settle into Winfield House with their adopted son, Jack, and two feisty Scottie puppies.
Life is finally settling into a routine when Jack is abducted by Libyan nationals. No longer able to call directly upon US military forces, David turns to his successor as President, Victoria Wilson, to enlist her aid and gain her approval of a daring rescue attempt, and asks his cousin King William for help luring the kidnapper to British soil for retribution. It’s a mission that will ultimately involve the British Marines and even personal phone calls to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi as David will stop at nothing to see his son safely home.

In your case, it means you are a son of a diplomat and can’t be detained or arrested.” “Neat! So I could break a window and no one could arrest me?” “Technically, yes. However, you would embarrass me and your other dad so badly that we’d be ashamed to show our faces anywhere. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that, now would you?” “Hmm, no, of
settled in and rested from your trip… and when your duties permit, of course. It is typical for a new ambassador to present his credentials to the prime minister, but under these circumstances, you’ll present your credentials to His Majesty directly, with the prime minister in attendance.” “Thank you, I look forward to doing that tomorrow if the king’s schedule permits,” David replied. “I believe you already have the private numbers at the palace, so if there is nothing else, sir, I’ll take my
charge of the embassy for the rest of this week. Notify State, will you?” “If you’re sure.” “Hell yeah, I’m sure!” “YES, Mr. Ambassador?” John Davidson answered his phone. “John, I’m appointing you temporary charges d’affaires ad interim for the remainder of this week or until personally relieved by me or State. Understand?” “Yes, sir. Has Washington been informed?” “It’s being done at this moment. I have to leave the country for a short while, and I want nothing to interrupt the
the king came in—we discussed it and decided that we were interested in each other for more than just sex.” “When the king finds out about this, he isn’t going to be happy,” Shane said. “Oh, he already knows. Somehow, he figured it out right there at the breakfast table. The prince had asked me to spend a weekend at Windsor Castle, and when he asked William for permission, the king put two and two together and came up with the right answer.
