For eleven years her uncle hid her from the empire he ruled, certain that distance would keep her safe.
When her enemies learned she existed, that quiet life ended and she was dragged back to Moscow, into a mafia family of blood and secrets she was never meant to inherit.
To keep her alive, he places her under the protection of Rowan Vasiliev, his most trusted enforcer, his deadliest weapon, and the man he raised as his own.
Everyone warns her to stay away from the cold, silent figure at her side, yet unguarded moments reveal the scarred man who has already given up everything for the only family he has ever known.
The closer Rowan stays, the harder she falls, until wanting him is no longer only forbidden—it threatens to destroy them both.
As her uncle's empire begins to collapse and old secrets close in, every move Rowan makes to save her pulls them deeper into a war neither of them may survive.
