Faith Jackson
• Devastated after being widowed from the love of her life at the age of twenty five.
• Still struggling to come to terms with her now meaningless existence two years later.
• Copes by burying herself in her demanding job at the Royal London Bank.

Caleb Mackenzie
• Bitter and cynical after his divorce.
• No longer believes in love or monogamy after finding his wife in bed with another man.
• Driven to succeed in his high powered role at the American Western Bank.

When Caleb is sent over to London for a week to finalise a takeover, Faith is assigned to work with him. Neither wishes to expose themselves to being hurt again. Neither is interested in any kind of a serious relationship. Both understand that sex can provide a temporary distraction from real life. The American Lover. The perfect solution?
