The daughter of Moscow's most celebrated jeweler, Katerina
Pavlova has inherited a keen eye for gems. But when the
whims of a wealthy prince bring tragedy to the Pavlovas,
Katerina flees Russia with her family's fortune. Once in
London, the beguiling Katerina reinvents herself as the
Contessa de Salerno, a beautiful, mysterious aristocrat
with a talent for making dazzling jewelry. Soon, every
lady in London desires one of her glittering creations-
while every man desires the Countess herself. Prince
Drako Kazanov is one of the men who longs to seduce the
Contessa. But Katerina is convinced that Drako is the man
behind her family's downfall and she's determined to exact
vengeance. When Drako learns Katerina's true identity, he
promises secrecy for a price-her complete surrender to
their mutual attraction. Katerina has no choice but to
become Drako's mistress … a role she finds more
pleasurable than she ever imagined. But when an unseen
enemy tries to kill both her and Drako, Katerina must
choose between her life-and her newfound love.
