Midsummers Stories

A collection of snapshots set before, during, and after the events of the completed novel The Long Summer. While many can be enjoyed on their own, they expand the world, characters, and history of the Romanov family, revealing the moments that shaped their lives-and the legacy they leave behind.

Two summers. Two choices. One love that outlasted an empire. The Long Summer For nearly fifty years, Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich carried the memory of a single midsummer evening. In June 1891, at Fredensborg Palace in Denmark, a young Romanov prince met a princess with ribbons in her hair, a flower garland in her curls, and laughter bright enough to capture his attention despite every effort to avoid it. While Europe's royal families gathered to celebrate Princess Elena's eighteenth birthday, neither of them could have imagined the path that lay ahead. Their story would span the final decades of Imperial Russia, the glittering world of Europe's royal courts, the heartbreak of revolution, and the loss of everything they had once called home. When the Romanov dynasty falls, Alexander faces a choice between loyalty to an empire and loyalty to the people he loves. Choosing his wife and children, he leads his family into exile, carrying with him little more than memories, hope, and the woman who had become the center of his world. From the lantern-lit gardens of Fredensborg to the quiet halls of an English country estate, The Long Summer follows one family across half a century of triumph, tragedy, and change. At its heart is a love story-not of crowns or power, but of endurance. A story of grandchildren gathered around a library fire. Of a husband who never forgot the sound of his wife's laughter. And of a midsummer evening that lasted a lifetime.
