Kate Kirkby has promised Andrew Carmichael that she'll do just one more season working for Three C's travel company, before settling down and becoming his wife. She is sent out to accompany a tour to Russia and despite the company's strict guidelines on such matters, she can't help herself becoming emotional involved in their lives. There's Lucy Livingstone-Smith, a sweet-natured, shy spinster who is desperate to fill up her lonely days; Nigel Faringdon, a charming divorcee who is determined to rid his young daughter Linette's mind of the decadence and frivolities she has learnt whilst living in Paris with her mother; and attractive Ranald McEwan, in search of his bestfriend's sister who has gone missing in Russia in pursuit of her lover. None of them can help being influenced by Russia; whether it's the sheer disparity between the opulence of the country's buildings and treasures and the poverty of its people, or the imbalance of its political regime, life is set to change in many ways and even Kate is not immune to the changes and upheavals that fate has in store...

From Booklist
Kate Kirby prides herself on being the perfect guide for the Three C's (culture, comfort, and courtesy) travel company. During one of her many trips from England to Russia, she meets a group of people who touch her--sweet Lucy Livingstone Smith, charming Nigel Faringdon and his daughter Linette, the quirky Engelsmans, and handsome Ranald McEwan. Kate gets along famously with everyone except Ranald and clashes with him at every turn until he confesses that he has come to Russia to search for his best friend's sister. Kate insists on helping him, and the two grow closer as the tour progresses. When Kate's fiance, Andrew, shows up, Kate can't help but realize that Ranald strikes a greater passion in her. Over the next few months Kate amicably ends her engagement to Andrew, but she and Ranald remain stubbornly separated until a tragic event forces them to acknowledge their feelings for each other. In spite of an abrupt ending, Stewart tells yet another amazingly rich and delightful tale. Megan Kalan
