I have always been fascinated by the brooding Russian hero, but somehow never actually wrote one. When the idea of writing the stories for two old-money but very unconventional San Francisco heiresses came to me, I'm not sure why, but I knew both needed her Russian-American brooding hero. Those are the heroes I love best, the men with their feet stuck in two worlds (the one they come from and the one they live in now). Viktor has a Russian heart (he denies even exists) with an American head and he drives Madison crazy, but that's nothing new for these two who have been circling each other for years. I adore the hero that decides it's time to make his move and makes it, so it comes as no surprise that's exactly what Viktor does.
Fun notes of trivia - I went on a research trip to San Francisco with my youngest daughter for this duo and we rode a pedicab from the warf back to our downtown hotel (much of it on sidewalks as the streets were clogged with traffic).
I bought my first pair of Juicy Couture earrings on this research trip. Little dangly elephants that I wear all the time.
The traditional Russian lacquer box mentioned in the book is one I saw in an antique consignment shop, which I later bought and gave away as a reader prize off of my FB page.
