    Summary

    Cliff Marleau had been aware of Svetlana Vetrova for years, and of course he was aware of how beautiful she was. At the Hollander-Rozanov wedding, he got the chance to talk to her for the first time in a few years. Afterwards, he couldn't get her off his mind, until he saw her at one of the nightclubs back in Boston. When she shows up at his door in the middle of the night, winded and not dressed for the middle of winter, it isn't too hard to figure out her recent trip to Russia didn't go well. It gets hard when he has to figure out how to make her feel safe. Especially when they both know she probably isn't.

    Svetlana had been thinking about settling down for a few years, but now that it seems like it might be within her grasp she grapples with the reality that she never can. Not if she cares to protect the people she cares about.
