title: Golden Paradise
author: Johnson, Susan
description: A woman unlike any other
  
  The Countess Lisaveta Lazaroff seemed to fear nothing--not war, not marauding bandits, certainly not the scandalized whispers of polite society. And from the first, Prince Stefan Bariatinsky was fascinated by her beguiling mixture of innocence and sophistication. The splendid young officer was sought after by most of the ladies of the czar's court, but they held no interest for him now. From the battlefields of Asia to the ballrooms of Saint Petersburg, the prince could find no peace for he was haunted by the memory of one silken night in Lisaveta's arms .. . .
