1854, England. Out on a hunting trip, Colin MacLain and a scullery maid, Jennie Cromb, save Count Bolugayevski from a bog. He's quite taken with Jennie and when he leaves, takes her with him, much to Colin's disappointment.

At the Battle of Balaclava, after has been declared against Russia, Lieutenant Colin MacLain of the 11th Hussars finds himself wounded and taken captive by his old enemy Bolugayevski. His entanglement with the three beautiful Bolugayevska sisters, the arrogantly sensual Dagmar, the mysterious Anna, and the frivolous Alexandra, leads him to both triumph and tragedy. When he beds Dagmar, her father sees this as a promise of marriage. But Colin is desperate not to marry her: she is hardly a lady and she is Russian. But the Russian family still have Jennie Cromb, and threaten to hurt her should he not follow through with the marriage. But Jennie is planning a revenge of her own, when she goes and buys a Colt and hands it to her son.

When the Count is slain in battle, Colin is the only male left to take his place. But at the funeral, Jennie's son shoots the Prince and Dagmar and Colin become the Princess and Prince of the realm …

As he gets more and more involved with the Bolugayevski family, dark secrets spill out. Colin ends up with all of the power, using it to keep Jenny from the hangman's noose for the Prince's murder. But he couldn't protect her from brutality and rape.

Six years later, into this world of brutal sophistication there rides the American Charles Cromb, seeking his long lost cousin, and setting off a series of events which may destroy the family …

What lengths will Dagmar go to to keep her power? Will the whole family survive as the fighting gets out of control? It's up to Colin to keep those closest to him alive and keep Dagmar under control …

Dead in the Water by Stuart Woods

A Stone Barrington Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: HarperCollins

Price: $3.99 (as of 01/25/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

Stone Barrington only wants a winter getaway from the chill of New York in the beautiful, tropical Caribbean paradise of St. Mark's. But what the lawyer and ex-cop gets instead is the chance to defend Allison Manning. The beautiful young woman stands accused of killing her rich husband on board their luxurious yacht and then burying him at sea.

Stone isn't exactly conversant with the island country's law, but this much is clear to him: Allison is being railroaded by the perverse sense of justice of a prosecutor who will do anything to stay in office. Donning the robe and wig of a British barrister, Stone does everything he can to save Allison — from publicizing the case all over the American press to conducting the kind of smart, tough investigation that money can't buy. Just when he has the jury in the palm of his hands, a shocking reversal of fortune changes everything. And what was once a sure thing begins to look a lot like a death sentence.
