Be careful what you wish for...Alice Reynolds had always dreamt of escaping her grimy corner of South London for the fairytale world of the privileged aristocratic elite. Cricket whites, Pimms and summer balls were the stuff of Alice's dreams. But when those dreams come true, the friends and enemies she makes on a trip to Russia draw her into a completely different world. Fifteen years later, it's another journey to Russia - this time to procure a priceless Faberge egg for the dangerously sexy Zander Sinclair - which shatters Alice's fragile existence, exposing lethal secrets from the past and throwing her together once again with the one man she could never forget.
