When Michelle D'Orage agreed to be Count Alexei Vatutin's translator at
the Congress of Vienna, she was excited to spend a few weeks away from
the sheltered Swiss school where she had been raised. But then she
learned the handsome Russian's true reason for hiring her. Claiming to
have known Michelle by the ring she wore--her late mother's gold wedding
band, etched with a thunderbolt--he insisted that Michelle was in
terrible danger.
Shaken and confused, she had little choice but to trust this mysterious
stranger who held the key to the secrets of her past...and her dreams
for the future.
