He says I'm "the one," but he won't share his secret-- not yet...
What better way to cap off two years of travel than with a trip across Russia on the infamous Trans-Siberian Railroad?
That's what I was thinking when I was standing in the Railway Terminal in Moscow, but less than one day into the journey sharing the compartment with 3 people I couldn't even talk to had me crying in my beer in the dining car.
That's how I met Evan-- the sexiest man I have ever seen. When he invited me back to the luxurious private coach he was traveling in, there was no way I was going to say no.
Evan's grandparents fled Russia years ago, now Evan is visiting Siberia to settle his family estate. Problem is, the caretakers don't want to give it back. And now they are threatening Evan if he doesn't walk away.
Evan confesses that his family has secrets. He promises he'll tell me, but not now. Not while we're still in Russia. Not while knowing those secrets could put me in danger.
This short story is part one of Evan and Kerri's story in Eva Wilder and Claire Ryann's new American Tigers series.
