About this book

When her mother dies, young Countess Alexandreya Razin has no one to protect her anymore from her tyrannical father; no one to prevent him from promising her hand in marriage to a sadistic Russian prince. Rather than face what will certainly be a horrible fate in Moscow, Alexandreya embarks on an extremely dan-gerous journey - she flees to Warsaw to seek sanctuary with her aunt. But the road from Moscow to Warsaw in 1812 is not an easy one to travel for a naive and beautiful young aristocrat, as she learns when she is rescued by Major Simon de St. Yves, a spy for Napoleon. She dares not reveal to Simon that her father is a double agent, but Simon discovers it himself, for Count Razin is trying to kill him and it would seem that Alexandreya is part of the plot. Alexandreya and Simon have much to learn - Alexandreya about her real father and family and Simon about her - and have much to endure before they are free to find happiness.

A GOLDEN TRAIL TO HEARTBREAK AND HEAVEN "Take up a man's profession and there's not a man alive who will think of you as a woman!" Remembering her mother's words, young doctor Aurelia Breighton thought herself quite without charm--until she encountered virile Clay Guardian along a journey to the magnificent Klondike. As she raced to rescue her innocent sister from a scandal--armed only with her grandmother's steel barrel revolver--Aurelia found the dangerous and exciting Yukon a far cry from prim Philadelphia. Clay was eager to be Aurelia's partner on the Chilkoot Trail, because he too was in pursuit of her sister--for reasons of his own. He and Aurelia braved the meanest thirty-three miles on earth together, while they fought for a love shadowed by disbelief and distrust. His honor demanded a high price, and her heart was already deep in debt. (less)
