I fled to Moscow to escape my failures, never imagining I’d fall for my damnation instead. Maksim Antonov—controlled, dangerous, untouchable— a Bratva king who lives in shadows.
He shouldn’t want a broken American girl. I shouldn’t crave a man shaped by violence. But his promises slide beneath my skin, dark, intoxicating, impossible to ignore.
“You’re mine,” he says like it’s a vow and a warning. His touch claims me. His world traps me. And loving a Pakhan teaches me one brutal truth— everything comes with a price.
When his enemies strike, everything burns. I’m forced to flee with bullets at my back, carrying a secret that could destroy him.
Weeks later, I learn I’m pregnant. When I call Moscow, they tell me he’s dead.
I build a quiet life for my son—alone. Until a violent crash shatters everything… and the past comes for us both.
Because Maksim Antonov isn’t dead. He’s found us. And now he knows he has a son.
He isn’t just a king anymore— he’s a father who wants what’s his.
And I have to choose: run again… or trust the most dangerous single dad in the Bratva.
