Description

He's the king of the Georgia real estate empire. A billionaire. A monster in disguise.
She was never supposed to matter. But now, she's the only thing that does.

On paper, Yerik is a respected businessman—untouchable, untarnished, and revered. But behind the polished suits and billion-dollar deals lies a brutal truth: Yerik is the ruthless leader of the Russian mafia in the United States. A man forged by violence. Governed by the code of the thieves-in-law. Feared by everyone—including his enemies.

When his cousin begs him to rescue a kidnapped girl, Yerik agrees. It's supposed to be a favor. A task. Nothing more.

Until he sees her.

Talassa was meant to be a mission. Not an obsession.
But once Yerik lays eyes on her, he knows one thing: she's his.
To protect.
To claim.
To keep—whether she likes it or not.
