Natalia Blackstone manages her father’s investment in the Trans-Siberian Railway from New York, building an unlikely friendship with Russian aristocrat Dimitri Sokolov through their long-distance correspondence. When Dimitri witnesses an appalling crime, his refusal to remain silent costs him his title, property, and freedom. Natalia becomes his best hope of exposing the truth, but helping him threatens both the railroad project and her position in the family bank. Their partnership brings a practical American financier and an impassioned Russian idealist together in a struggle reaching from Siberia to Washington. Across the miles, friendship ripens into love—a sweeping romance of opposites, moral courage, and a happy ending earned against formidable odds.
