Caged by my family. Branded for sale. The Paganos are holding me prisoner, each day a countdown to the auction that will clear their debts.
Only one thing keeps me sane: the stranger who visits in the dark. He never promises rescue, only offers moments of fleeting comfort.
Until the night he doesn’t just visit—he breaks my chains and steals me away. Out of one prison and straight into another.
Alik Valentin isn’t a hero. He is vengeance personified. My family stole something from his and the vicious heir to the Valentin Bratva won’t leave Chicago until he gets it back.
He'll do anything to reclaim what's his. That includes keeping me captive. Against my will. For as long as it takes. Because if the leads in his search run dry, he'll bleed the answers from me.
The Russian and the Italian. We’re enemies from the moment I wake in Alik’s bed and he tells me I belong to him. We’re locked in a war of wills, a fight for our own lives—and a losing battle against an attraction that is as incendiary as it is impossible.
Because when the bullets stop flying and the smoke clears, the wounds we’ve inflicted will be the kind we can’t survive.
