The Cossack's Bride
Theirs was a dream young Natalie Stuart, hotshot Wall Street banker...and Wallace Nevsky, the Russian-born czar of the international fur trade. Together they built Cotillion Furs into a high-fashion American empire. Equal partners in love and business, Natalie knew they had nothing to hide from each other. Until a mysterious blond assassin launched a bullet through her husband's heart.
From that instant on, Natalie's life would never be the same. Plagued by doubts about her loving husband and forced to fight to keep her company afloat, she would find her strength tested at every turn. And then, in a journey that would take her from the opulent showrooms of New York's fur district to the dark heart of Soviet Russia, she would find herself catapulted into the nightmare world of her husband's double life. For the man she had known body and soul had possessed a terrifying secret...and an enemy who would soon become her own

A nice book. Enough suspension to keep me reading, enough interesting things to lean about fur trading and keeping a business afloat to do the same. And luckily not enough romance to keep me away :-)
Liked the book, it's rather timeless, even though the Russian part dates back to the early days of 'Gorby'.

Combining glamour and ruthlessness, Natalie and Wallace Nevsky were both respected and feared throughout the sophisticated, dangerous world of the fur trade. Having just launched their latest and most spectacular range of stunning furs to an ecstatic reception, the Nevskys were the toast of the fashion industry. Suddenly, amid the flashing of cameras and the excited buzz of the post-show celebrations, came a sound like the popping of a champagne cork. Wallace spun around and, with an astonished look on his face, fell to the ground. The party was over.
With the brutal killing of her husband comes Natalie's shocking discovery that their life together was not as it seemed. Back in his native Russia, Nevsky had been playing a deadly game of espionage and his one mistake had cost him his life. Now, thrust into a dark and seedy world of spying and murder behind the Iron Curtain, Natalie must learn to walk a tightrope of survival--and she cannot afford to put even one foot wrong. One of the best books I have read in a long time.
