Nadia, aka Hope
Moore, wants only to be a mother to her young daughter. But Ekaterina
needs a father too-a father who is presently rotting in the belly of a
Russian prison.
When Nadia put her days as an elite spy for the CIA behind and left Russia
almost two years ago, her husband, Mickey, refused to leave the communist
country because his mission wasn't finished. Nadia suspected there was
more to the story, and rumors have run rampant ever since two CIA agents
were murdered. Rumor has it that Mickey caved into torture and gave the
Russians his contact list, and there's also talk of Mickey having a
relationship with another woman.
Nadia doesn't believe the gossip-at least she doesn't want to believe it.
She dusts off her spy gear, leaves her young daughter in capable hands,
and heads to Russia, hoping to rescue Mickey and bring him home. But
around every corner is danger and increased doubts as to her husband's
innocence. Is Mickey really a double agent or is he being set up? Will
Ekaterina end up with two loving parents-or none at all?
Nadia is the second book in the exciting Heirs of Anton series.
Where Ekaterina, the first book in the series, is set in present
day, Nadia takes us back to 1970 Russia. Readers will enjoy
learning more about Ekaterina's mysterious and adventurous mother. We also
learn greater details about her grandfather, Master Spy Edward Neumann.
Authors Downs and Warren do an excellent job hinting at the heinous
torture that victims endure while in a Russian prison. Faith and love of
family was all that kept Mickey alive during that time. While Ekaterina
is more action-oriented and intense, Nadia digs deep and challenges
the heroine to believe in her husband when everything looks black. Readers
will learn that while love of country is very important, love of God and
family are even greater. Nadia is worth the wait, and readers won't
be disappointed.
