Love's Enduring Flame

by Ruth Axtell

Overview

Krysia Milos comes of age at the height of the Romantic era, when poets, musicians and writers influenced the course of nations. Krysia, raised in Poland by an influential uncle and his unorthodox sister, joins those struggling for independence under Russian rule. When she comes to Warsaw for her debut into society, she finds herself enmeshed in the plans for an uprising against the czar's rule. Independent and willing to prove herself useful to the cause of Poland's freedom, she determines to help her uncle by gathering information. She soon finds herself in over her head, pitted against the sinister but very powerful Russian Dmitri Orlovsky and the Polish officer, Casimir Zalenski, whose cynicism belies his uniform and whose past is murky at best.
As revolution threatens to destroy everything she has, Krysia must decide which man is worthy of her trust.
For those who love the larger-than-life historical panoramas of Russian history, the era of the French salon and its cultural influence to its Eastern neighbors, and the timeless love story of individuals caught in tumultuous eras, Love's Enduring Flame is for you.
This is NOT an inspirational romance, as many of Ruth Axtell's books are. It is a little edgier in tone and subject matter, but it is in her writing style.

About the Author

Ruth knew she wanted to be a writer ever since she wrote her first story--a spy thriller--at the age of twelve. She studied comparative literature at Smith College, spending her junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris. After college, she taught English in the Canary Islands then worked in international development in Miami, Florida, before moving to the Netherlands, where for the next several years, she juggled both writing and raising her three children.
In 1994, her second manuscript was a finalist in Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart competition. In 2002, her sixth manuscript took second place in the Laurie Contest of RWA's Smoky Mountain chapter. The final judge requested her full manuscript and this became her first published book, Winter Is Past, which was spotlighted in Christian Retailing magazine. Since then, Ruth has gone on to publish nineteen historical romances and two novellas. Her books have been translated into Dutch, Italian, Polish and Afrikaans. Her second historical, Wild Rose, was chosen by Booklist as a "Top Ten Christian Fiction" selection in 2005.
Ruth lives on the coast of Maine where she enjoys gardening, walking, reading romances and gazing at the ocean plotting her next romance.
