An irresistible royal seduction...
Daring Prince Nikolay Baklanov feels London is worlds away from his life of battle and revolution in Kuban. But then the Russian ambassador’s daughter, beautiful Klara Grigorieva, approaches him with her father’s dangerous proposition...
Since her mother’s death, Klara has complied with all her father’s wishes. She’s virtuous, polished—a Society lady through and through. But meeting dashing Prince Nikolay awakens a rebellious passion in Klara...a passion that only this man can satisfy!
Russian Royals of Kuban
Commanding princes unlace the ladies of London!
Princes Nikolay, Illarion, Ruslan and Stepan were once the toasted royalty of Kuban, renowned for their daring exploits. Now, banished and distanced from their titles, they’ve arrived in London—where balls and carriage rides take precedence over swordsmanship, revolution and battle...
But in this new and unknown city they’re about to encounter women the like of whom they’ve never encountered before. These ladies have resisted the rakes of London—but the princes are about to embark on the most alluring of seductions...

Let’s play True or False: What’s real in Nikolay’s story?
True: Kuban is a real region in Russia. It encompasses Sochi, where the Winter Olympics were once held. However, there was never a kingdom or a king like the one featured in this series.
True: the region of Kuban was indeed ‘settled’ by Russia in the mid-late 1700s in order to provide a buffer between the Ottoman Empire and Russia and to reclaim the Crimea for Russia. These efforts were stimulated by the 1768-1774 Russo-Turkish war.
True: a large part of the population that settled the area were Cossacks from nearby regions
True: the Cossacks were/are known for their ‘trick’ riding abilities in battle.
True: both rebellions cited in Nikolay’s story took place. The 1825 revolt Nikolay is tempted to join did occur and was unsuccessful.
True: the rebellions were led by officers and there were connections inside the palace. The Union of Salvation was a real secret society throughout Russia.
False: there is no historic proof that Britain, privately or otherwise, financed or supported the rebellion. The arms deal subplot is my own addition. However, members of the Union had what is historically described as ‘British ideals’ regarding government and industrialisation.
True: Soho was an immigrant neighborhood in early nineteenth-century London, as were the squares where Nikolay establishes his riding academy.

I hope you enjoy Nikolay and Klara’s tale, set against this backdrop of the real and the imagined!
