Explore reading order
Ambassador Theo Lane arrives in Adriavik for his first posting, a nation shimmering with coastal beauty and simmering with secrets. Tasked with securing a vital environmental accord, he finds his every move watched.
When he meets Luka Petrovic, a sharp, inconvenient journalist who sees through the diplomatic theater, Theo is pulled into a dangerous game: one involving a corrupt minister, a shrewd queen, and his own conscience.
Start with AdriavikReassigned after a scandal, Ambassador Ethan Reyes lands in Lisbon—political exile disguised as a “safe” maritime project. But the ghosts of Adriavik, in the form of the corrupt A.R.I. Fund, have followed him.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with Miguel Faria, an idealistic Portuguese minister, Ethan is pulled between survival and honesty. This time, the cost of telling the truth might be everything.
Continue in Lisbon
One year after Lisbon, Ethan Reyes is rebuilding his career in Vienna, a city of chandeliers and secrets. Representing the U.S. at a crucial Energy Accord Summit, he discovers the key advisor for Portugal is Miguel Faria.
As rumors swirl and a dangerous trade leak threatens the summit, their reunion becomes both a liability and their only hope.
Pre-order updatesIn Madrid, Ethan expects a quiet posting. Instead, a scandal over a vital art restoration thrusts him into an alliance with Diego Navarro, Spain’s brilliant and defiant Deputy Minister of Culture.
In a city built on secrets, professional necessity turns into something far more dangerous—especially under the glare of a hungry press.
Pre-order updates
After the fires of Vienna, Ethan Reyes arrives in Geneva to face the International Tribunal and the ghosts of the Aurora scandal. The world hails him as a whistleblower, but he knows exposure was only the overture.
When Anton Weiss reemerges from exile, their reunion tests the limits of love and forgiveness in a city built to hide both.
Pre-order updatesAbout
Jonah Diedrick writes fiction about people in motion—literally and emotionally. His stories sit at the intersection of commercial and heartfelt: grounded in real-world details, emotionally immersive, and just slightly obsessed with the question of what happens after the “big moment.”
His work includes the Run Into Love series (hopeful, running-infused romance), the Fabulous Enough series (influencer-era dramedy about failure and friendship), the Diplomatic Affair series (international romance with political intrigue), and the Statecraft series (techno-thrillers about power, data, and the people caught in between).
Across genres and settings, the throughline is the same: characters who choose to keep showing up for each other, even when it would be easier to ghost.
