Russia, 1733

There is no joy in the Yuletide season for Ekaterina Romanova. As the empress’s niece, she knows all too well the wickedness that lies behind the gilded facade of the Winter Court. But an intimate encounter with a handsome stranger offers her a few moments of escape, and awakens her to forbidden desires....

Andrey Kvasov is stunned to learn that the beautiful peasant girl he almost made love to in the woods is really a princess. If their mutual passion is discovered, they will both be in grave danger—for the cruel empress has designs of her own on the young architect, and betrayal will be severely punished....

Russia is a land of startling beauty, mysterious legends and majestic architecture. Its rich history has always fascinated me, especially anything related to emperors, empresses and revolutions. When I finally got to visit St. Petersburg, one of the things that struck me most was the breathtaking decor of the Catherine Palace. There were so many beautiful places to admire: the Amber Room, the Picture Hall and, of course, the Hall of Light—which was the initial inspiration for this story. I, just like our heroine, was utterly captivated by the golden glow of that great room. I hope you will be transported to that lavish palace through this story, which is dedicated to anyone who has ever been entranced by brilliant buildings.
