In this charming modern day retelling of the 1956 classic Anastasia, a museum curator falls for a mysterious man who may or may not be a long lost heir to Russiaโs imperial Romanov dynasty.
Finley Abbot is organizing the most prestigious art exhibit of her career at the Louvre museumโa retrospective of art from the House of Romanov. But the sudden appearance of Maxim Romanov threatens to turn her into the biggest laughingstock of the art world. When she finds herself falling in love, she realizes thereโs even more at stake than her career. How can she trust a man with her whole world when he canโt remember a thing about his past?
After suffering a violent blow to the head, Maximโs only clue to his identity is a notebook containing carefully researched documentation in his own handwriting indicating that he is the sole surviving descendant of the Grand Duchess Anastasia, previously thought dead in the murder of her family during Russiaโs Bolshevik revolution. His struggle to put the mysterious pieces of his past back together leads him to Finley. At first, sheโs convinced Maxim is nothing but a con artist. But thereโs something undeniably captivating about the beautiful, brooding man who claims to be searching for his identityโsomething Finley canโt quite bring herself to resist. When he reveals a secret about one of the imperial Fabergรฉ eggs in the collection, she accepts he may actually be telling the truth. But as soon as Finley and Maxim act on their feelings for one another, Maxim is confronted with evidence that calls into question everything heโs begun to believe about himself.
