The Broken Heart of Matilda Kshesinskaya

Matilda Kshesinskaya was a talented ballerina—and a skilled seductress. It was she who was destined to become the first woman of the future Nicholas II: the fiancée of the Tsarevich Nicki. Nicholas truly loved Matilda, but—alas—imperial people don’t marry for love.

Nicholas’s lawful wife will be jealous of Matilda for her entire life—and not in vain. The emperor will never be able to forget the moments spent in her embrace until the end of his days. And Matilda herself will never erase Nicki from her memory—the man she loved passionately, without measure.
