Description
In 1917 Petrograd, Princess Svetlana Dalsky flees her homeland amidst the violent Russian Revolution. With her mother and sister in tow, she hopes to find safety in Paris, but the city is gripped by war and the Bolsheviks are relentless in their pursuit of aristocrats. Svetlana finds herself forced into hiding with little more than the jewels sewn into her corset for protection. It's there that she meets Wynn MacCallan, a Scottish-born surgeon who has made a name for himself in Paris's hospitals. When Svetlana is treated by Wynn after a minor injury, their paths become intertwined as they navigate the treacherous world of decaying imperial Russia. As their lives become increasingly entwined, Svetlana and Wynn must confront the danger that surrounds them - both from without and within. Will they be able to outrun the love that is growing between them, or will it prove to be their greatest liability?
