The Secret Wife by Gill Paul

The year is 1914, and Dimitri, a Russian officer, falls in love with a charming girl who visits him in the hospital during the Russian Revolution.  He soon realizes that this is no ordinary girl - this girl is the Grand Duchess Tatiana of the Romanov family.  Dimitri knows this girl is the love of his life, and he will do anything to be near her.  He also knows that she and her family are in extreme danger. 

The year is 2016, and Kitty not only discovers she is an heiress to her great -grandfather's cabin in the United States, but her boyfriend has been unfaithful to her.  Kitty decides to leave London and go to the cabin to lick her wounds and try to make sense of everything that has happened to her.  The cabin is in dire condition, so Kitty uses her skills to make some repairs to her new home.  If she works herself to exhaustion, then she won't have to think. 

While she is making repairs to the entry stairs, she finds a brooch.  Thus begins the mystery of how a valuable brooch that belonged to the Romanov family ended up outside of her grandfather's cabin in the United States. 

There are a lot of 'what ifs" in this story, and I enjoyed reading about what might have been.  If you love reading about the Romanov family and Russian history, you will enjoy this book.
