Piper Baird longs to become a journalist, and getting a scholarship to Chiswick Academy in Washington, DC, is the best opportunity. There she hobnobs with children of elite ambassadors from around the world, and she knows that doing a scoop on their lawless, privileged lives, could win her the prized Bennington scholarship to college. However, when Rafael Amador, son of the Spanish ambassador, asks for her help and she gets to know him, Piper starts falling for him, and things get complicated when submitting her scoop could ruin his life.
