Natalia Melnikova and Jake Wilder knew a foreign marriage would be challenging, but neither foresaw it would lead to murder.

Seeking a new life, Natalia uses a correspondence service to find an American husband. Unbeknownst to her, the agency is mob-controlled, and she is forced to keep her kidnapped young son a secret from Jake, a Silicon Valley executive. She is promised her son's return-if she follows orders and hands over the life insurance proceeds after Jake's death. But when Jake learns of the plot, he and Natalia embark on a dangerous, bloody mission to reclaim her son.

In Russian Bride by Doc Richter, we witness the lengths to which ordinary people in love will go to save their family.
