  • In
  • politics,
  • love
  • is
  • a
  • stranger…It’s
  • a
  • bitterly
  • cold
  • winter
  • in
  • London
  • and
  • Jules
  • Elwin
  • has
  • no
  • idea
  • what
  • he’s
  • doing.
  • As
  • the
  • newest
  • special
  • adviser
  • to
  • a
  • government
  • minister,
  • he’s
  • drowning
  • in
  • arcane
  • procedures
  • and
  • party
  • politics,
  • and
  • the
  • civil
  • servant
  • who’s
  • supposed
  • to
  • be
  • helping
  • him
  • is
  • doing
  • nothing
  • of
  • the
  • sort.
  • Ari
  • is
  • sarcastic,
  • intolerant
  • and
  • has
  • no
  • time
  • for
  • a
  • special
  • adviser
  • who’s
  • only
  • there
  • because
  • his
  • father
  • is
  • a
  • peer
  • of
  • the
  • realm.Jules
  • is
  • only
  • one
  • of
  • Ari’s
  • many
  • problems.
  • As
  • well
  • as
  • nursemaiding
  • a
  • special
  • adviser,
  • he’s
  • got
  • to
  • get
  • a
  • Bill
  • through
  • Parliament,
  • keep
  • his
  • irrepressible
  • minister
  • happy
  • and
  • stop
  • his
  • esteemed
  • colleagues
  • from
  • hiding
  • alcohol
  • in
  • their
  • filing
  • cabinets.
  • And
  • there’s
  • something
  • else,
  • too:
  • a
  • deep,
  • unspoken
  • grief,
  • that’s
  • consuming
  • him
  • like
  • frost.But
  • despite
  • everything,
  • Ari
  • sees
  • the
  • world
  • around
  • him
  • clearly––and
  • Jules
  • has
  • been
  • waiting
  • all
  • of
  • his
  • life
  • to
  • be seen.
