My first experience of DS's writing. Quick reads and somewhat preedictable but enjoyable. ( ) The mistress by Danielle Steel Book starts out following Vladimir and he's a Russian billionaire. His girlfriend of 7 years is Natashia and he found her n the streets in the winter and offered her help. After a year she accepted and had been with him ever since. It's their understanding he wants no kids, no ties to one another, he treats her well with money, clothes, etc as long as she's there when he wants her. Love hearing of the life style-so extravagant. Story also follows a painter who had died, his spouse only sold a few of his items. She and her son run a restauarant where all the pictures are on display. Vladimir wants more in his collection and everybody has a price... Years go by and Theo paints her portrait just from memory and they meet when it's on display. Vladimir wants the rest of the art display and Theo tells him they are not for sale...a robbery occurs and Natashia finds them hidden...she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Where do her loyalities lie? Will she make it out alive-so unpredictable. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). A mistress of a fabulously rich Russian meets an artist. Jealousy, intrigue, and possibly freedom ensue.

HTML:Incomparable storyteller Danielle Steel illuminates rarely glimpsed precincts of unimaginable wealth and power, where love and freedom are the most dangerous desires of all. Natasha Leonova's beauty saved her life. Discovered on a freezing Moscow street by a Russian billionaire, she has lived for seven years under his protection, immersed in rarefied luxury, while he pursues his activities in a dark world that she guesses at but never sees. Her home is the world, often on one of Vladimir Stanislas's spectacular yachts manned by scores of heavily armed crew members. Natasha's job is to keep Vladimir happy, ask no questions, and be discreet. She knows her place, and the rules. She feels fortunate to be spoiled and protected, and is careful not to dwell on Vladimir's ruthlessness or the deadly circles he moves in. She experiences only his kindness and generosity and believes he will always keep her safe. She is unfailingly loyal to him in exchange. Theo Luca is the son of a brilliant, world famous, and difficult artist, Lorenzo Luca, who left his wife and son with a fortune in artwork they refuse to sell. Lorenzo's widow, Maylis, has transformed their home in St. Paul de Vence into a celebrated restaurant decorated with her late husband's paintings, and treats it as a museum. There, on a warm June evening, Theo first encounters Natasha, the most exquisite woman he has ever seen. And there, Vladimir lays eyes on Luca's artwork. Two dangerous obsessions begin. Theo, a gifted artist in his own right, finds himself feverishly painting Natasha's image for weeks after their first meeting. Vladimir, enraged that Lorenzo's works are not for sale, is determined to secure a painting at any price. And Natasha, who knows that she cannot afford to make even one false move, nevertheless begins to think of a world of freedom she can never experience as Vladimir's mistress. She cannot risk her safety for another man, or even a conversation with him, as Theo longs for a woman he can never have. From Moscow to the Riviera, Paris, and London, The Mistress is a riveting tale of vast fortune, cruelty, creative genius, and daring courage, as uncompromising individuals chart a course for collision.
