Rushing

A rich young Russian with an aura of the bad boy about him, Kolya would embody almost any young woman’s image of the ideal boyfriend. But when twenty-one-year-old English teacher Ashley Vancura plunges into a rebound relationship with him, Kolya’s striking green eyes, athletic build, and endless financial resources can’t diminish the love she still feels for her snowboarding ex back in America. Despite the fact she fled to Moscow after her ex-boyfriend dumped her on graduation day, she can’t ease his stranglehold on her mind and emotions.

Kolya also has a love in his past he can’t forget. A deceased wife he tries to hide from Ashley with extravagant lies and even more extravagant gifts. Ashley’s growing suspicions about his past find her following Kolya to a cemetery where she is stunned to find that his wife is buried. Kolya reveals that his gangster father-in-law has been demanding he give back the money his wife transferred to him before her suicide or face horrific consequences, but he refuses to return a cent.

A series of violent incidents involving Kolya accelerate. Determined to move on and erase her past, still torn between the love she thinks she feels for Kolya and the love she knows she feels for her ex-boyrfriend, Ashley is suddenly confronted with Kolya’s shocking disappearance and the fact he deposited $20 million into her bank account without her knowledge.
