He has 24 hours to find the woman he loves in the wilds of Siberia. When politics goes south and the leaders of a Russian coup decide to oust all foreigners, former Russian Cobra Captain Roman Novik discovers the woman he loves--whose heart he broke--is out of touch in the backwoods of Siberia. But if he doesn't find her before the authorities do, she'll be arrested...and he'll be branded an enemy of the state. But American medical missionary Dr. Sarai Curtiss is not about to leave--not with an epidemic on her hands that is taking the lives of Russia's children. Faced with a corrupt government, the military elite tasked with tracking them down, and an out-of-control medical crisis, it will be a race against time--and wills--to save lives, including their own. And the biggest casualty of all just might be their hearts.
