Unleashed - Christina Hamlett - Bog

Since the 16th century, the Russians have had a secret weapon-an elite military brigade answerable only to the Tsar himself and striking terror in the hearts of its enemies whenever the moon is full. As the present-day war in the Middle East continues to escalate, American intelligence officer Lucy MacDonald and her aide, Captain David Armstrong, have been sent to Moscow to engage Soviet assistance in wresting nuclear weapons from Islamic fundamentalists. Against a backdrop of double-dealing terrorists, chauvinistic superiors, supernatural interventions and a media that's literally out for blood, Lucy's off-limits attraction to the charismatic Dmitri Volkov begins to challenge her well-grounded sensibilities regarding rumors that the brigade of legend is actually real. But will her endeavors to uncover the truth about the existence of an unacknowledged Romanov heir behind the scenes put her in jeopardy at the hands of the brooding officer with whom she feels an inexplicable bond?
