In 1970 Andy Cole, female CIA operative, lands a new undercover assignment, this time as a sports journalist in Italy.

Roberto Cavalli has it all. Good looks, talent for the most popular sport in Italy, a respected name and women chasing him around every corner. But his high-flying lifestyle is about to crumble. His sports injuries are interfering with his game, he's tired of the women who want him only for his popularity, and he's about to experience an American newspaper woman intruding into his father's political career. Working with Andy Cole proves explosive in more ways than one, and Roberto soon learns how to score on more than one field at a time.
