Nobody crosses Nikolai Stefanovich and lives to tell the tale…

A chilling realization hits me…

He’s here to claim me.

Kidnapped, bound, and drugged, I wake up in a strange place.

Towering over me is Nikolai: my one-night stand.

And, to my shock, the ruthless boss of the Russian bratva. Feared by all, he has no weaknesses… except me.

To survive, I strike a desperate deal with the devil.

But as my past sins catch up with me, Nikolai becomes more than just my captor. Beneath his cold exterior, I discover a man scarred by grief, driven by revenge—and willing to risk his empire and life to protect me.

A cat burglar. The billionaire boss of the Russian mafia. A heist. One possible outcome: a deadly attraction that could cost them everything.

I could never have guessed I would end up in this situation.

Since the night of our one-night stand, there were countless instances when I was too weak to stop fantasizing about Nik, but I never imagined he would kidnap me and chain me to his bed.

Well, that's not true.

After all, I had longed to be completely at his mercy again on more than one occasion. But my daydreams had been much, much different.

For starters, my fantasy man was nothing but the sexy-as-hell, passionate lover I had assumed he was. He was just Nik.

No last name, no dark background.

I didn't expect him to be my latest mark.

I certainly didn't think he could be Nikolai Stefanovich, the ruthless pakhan of the Russian bratva.

I thought my troubles with the stronzo were the worst thing that could ever happen to me, but my life has just become much more complicated.

There are now not one, but two mafia bosses who have vowed to own me.

And I may be capable of turning the tables on the Italian mobster, but I'm not foolish enough to believe the same about Nikolai.

The Russian inspires fear in the likes of men I've learned to dread.

And I have brazenly taken from him his most prized possession.

A damsel in distress. A dark knight. Will love conquer all?

I'm lucky Ive won our battle of wills, but the war between us is far from over.

Kat has agreed to my demands for now. But if I had to guess, I'd say she's probably saving her energy for a later fight—one she can actually win. I just know we will have many, many more battles in the foreseeable future.

Even though I hold her life in my hands, the little thief challenges me every step of the way, and I just can't wait to force her into submission—slowly and repeatedly.

Kat is a complication—an unavoidable one since I need her help with my plans. But I can't decide if she is my salvation or my doom.

If only I could ignore the powerful, almost gravitational pull I feel towards her…

There are important, life-and-death matters that demand my full attention. The future of my bratva is up in the air and the threat of war with a rival boss looms ahead.

Will this spark between us turn into a flame, or will our tangled web of secrets consume us both?
