ReplyDeleteBeen done.
Several West German women were seduced by the East German Stasi during the Cold War and a CIA secretary was seduced by an intelligence officer from Ghana.
There are other known cases as well.
In fiction, Tom Clancy's "A Clear and Present Danger' had a Cuban intelligence officer seduce the FBI director's secretary.

ReplyDeleteRed October is Clancy's first and best thriller, in my view, but I also liked "A Clear and Present Danger." Jack Ryan up against the Cubans and a major Colombian drug trafficker.
I recall the thriller's good first chapter, in which a Coast Guard cutter takes on a drug trafficker's boat. Good stuff.
