September 20, 2010
Veteran romance author Rogers (Bound by Love) delivers a passion-filled, globe-spanning affair that opens in early 19th-century Russia. Emma Linley-Kirov runs an inn in a small Russian town. When her impulsive sister, Anya, runs away with two wealthy noblemen who promise to fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress, Emma is certain the men plan to sell her sister into slavery. Her desperate search for Anya leads her to St. Petersburg, where she meets the "beggar czar," Dimitri Tipova, leader of the Russian underworld and bastard son of a count. Emma and Dimitri track Anya's captors through Russia, England, and Egypt as passion flares in the sizzling love scenes that are Rogers's forte. Readers will love Emma's tenacity, her commitment to finding her sister, and the challenges she faces in taming the beggar czar.
