It's tough to compete in the global marketplace when you're an
American stuck in Paris during the biggest anti-U.S. protests in
European history. No wonder Tyler Harding is tired He just wants to
strike an agreement for his telecom company and get some sleep. But
the intriguing Frenchwoman in charge of his deal intends to wake
him up - in more ways than one. Meanwhile, in the company's
Milwaukee branch, account exec Carly Emerald is juggling the
demands of her defense-contract client and its government promoter;
her increasingly obsessive lover; her cancer-stricken mother; and
the office security monitor handing out duct tape to secure the
windows. Tyler and Carly cannot seem to catch a break, but when
they catch sight of each other during a videoconference set up by
Carly to enlist Tyler's help with her awful London client, sparks
fly ... until a their company's international accounting scandal
threatens not only their fledgling friendship but their entire
careers. Private Lines begins during the same events as Ian
McEwan's "Saturday," but its point of view is uniquely - and
poignantly - American.
