Summary
Kate Bateman: The Princess and the Earl
Sebastien Wolff, Earl of Mowbray, did not believe in love until a passionate kiss with a beautiful stranger forced him to question his own beliefs. When he discovers that there is a connection between a mysterious beauty and the mysterious disappearance of a Russian princess, Seb realizes that behind the seemingly innocent facade of the woman he longs for, a different truth is hidden... And that he must uncover that truth at any cost. Russian princess Anastasia Denisova is hiding in London and lives the life of an ordinary commoner under a false name. On her heels is a dangerous traitor of the Russian Empire who wants to force her into marriage in order to obtain her wealth and to prevent her from testifying against him. When the criminal exposes her hiding place, Anastasia is forced to accept Wolff's offer and move in with him.
