The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott

Russian spies! Forbidden romance! Plot twists! This literary novel has it all. A young Russian-American secretary is selected from the CIA typing pool to help smuggle a Doctor Zhivago-type into the USSR. With details plucked from the life of author Boris Pasternack and the Cold War era, the story provides a harrowing look at the hardships of the time, along with the heroic efforts of two women who paved the way for others.
