I’m the other second-in-command of the Las Vegas Russian Bratva. I show no mercy, feel little emotion. Numbers are my domain, computers my escape, and pain my passion.
She wasn’t supposed to be a part of my world. She hates men like me, and I shouldn’t care about her. But the moment I saw her picture, something inside me shifted. My dormant body came alive, and now I crave her in ways I shouldn’t.
I’m going to marry her. Tie her to me. And I’ll relish her being mine.
But there’s a problem. To keep her, I’ll have to go up against another powerful family. My past—locked away beneath my usually calm exterior—resurfaces, bringing with it a thirst for revenge I’ve buried for years. When she’s in danger, nothing else matters. I’ll kill with ruthless abandon, leaving bodies in my wake.
The bluff is she was always meant to be mine.
