The grand dame of romance is back in The Mistress , a book with a plot of wealth and power, where love and freedom can be the most dangerous desires.
Natasha Leonova's beauty was her salvation. Rescued from the streets of Moscow by Russian billionaire Vladimir Stanislas, for years she has lived under his protection in a world of luxury, glamour, and shady dealings, of which she knows nothing. Their home is the world. Aboard an incredible yacht, they go wherever they please. But to be a part of Vladimir's life, she must accept his rules: no children or marriage. In exchange for safety and comfort, she is his and no one else's.
Theo Luca is the son of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He inherited from his father not only his talent for painting but also a valuable legacy. He and his mother frequently exhibit Lorenzo Luca's works in the restaurant the widow runs in honor of her late husband in a commune in France. Theo is very dedicated to his work and strives to be recognized as a great painter; however, one day, he makes a grave mistake: he falls in love with the mistress of one of the most powerful men in the world.
But the talented painter is a portrait of a new world, which opens Natasha's eyes to a reality she thought she could only dream of.
From Moscow to the Riviera, from London to Paris, The Mistress is a story of wealth, cruelty, creativity, and courage that only one of the world's greatest romance writers could conceive.
