When Broadway actress Dora Liverpool is hired to play the wife of a well-known Russian oligarch, she knows she's making a mistake. Especially since the oligarch is in actual fact Roman Loginovsky, one of Moscow's most feared enforcers. But the money is good, and Roman doesn't take no for an answer. Spending time with the Mafia soldier, Dora soon discovers there's more to the mobster than meets the eye, and before long finds herself irresistibly drawn to the dark, enigmatic man. Roman never intended for this mission to be anything more than just another job. When he hired Dora, he thought she would be a willing pawn in his scheme. But the American actress turns out to be a lot more enticing than he anticipated, and when she shows him around New York City, his fascination deepens, both with the Big Apple, and the feisty young actress.
