The overly American, Nathan Ward, youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, fell hard for the British aristocratic, Lady Priscilla Pepper, Royal Liaison for Buckingham Palace, who fell interminably for him, and together, they are the celebrated: Most Romantic Couple in the World. Individually, they may have had a semblance of a chance, but as "Nathan and Priscilla," no lovers have been in greater peril. Yes, it is politics as usual: a king with a scheme and the Central Interference Agency determined to thwart it, but murder, the most effective problemsolver in the world, is not enough, even when it is the most romantic couple in the world pulling the trigger. There was never any Hero and Leander or Romeo and Juliet, but for the true romanticist, there is Nathan and Priscilla, living on the heights where every slip is a fall and everyone is falling, including Nathan and Priscilla.
