While Marta was on her way to visit her friend Emilia and Emilia's husband, Bence, at their villa-and to attend one of the most prestigious military balls inside the city of Budapest-all she could think about was going to America, if only she could figure out a way to get there. When she met the handsome and rugged Captain Bartholomew at her friend's dinner party, sparks flew as their eyes met and held. As her attraction to the captain grew, her plans to go to America were suddenly put aside; all she could think about was winning a handsome rogue's heart.Jonathon Bartholomew was a captain in the Royal Imperial Hungarian Army, overseeing a squadron of soldiers on the Russian border. He was set to retire in a fortnight, after which, he would leave on a ship bound for America. Until that time, there was a threat of a Russian invasion that kept him and his soldiers on high alert. When he met the fair Marta at a dinner engagement, he knew in an instant that he wanted her. No woman had ever affected him so deeply. When she was taken captive by the Russians in a plot to undermine him, he went after her, only to be captured himself. Will they be rescued, or will their fate be left at the hands of Russian spies?
