Description

He was trained to feel nothing. Until she made him feel everything.

Grigori is the Pakhan's most trusted advisor—cold, calculated, and feared in the brutal world of the Russian mafia. Emotion is weakness, and weakness gets you killed. He's built walls no one has ever dared to breach.
Until Lara.

Kidnapped by the Albanian mafia. Broken but not defeated. She was supposed to be just another mission—someone to guard, not someone to want.

But the more time he spends with her, the more cracks form in Grigori's iron control. Lara is fragile, fierce, and hiding more pain than anyone should endure. He was sent to keep her under watch. Instead, he swears to protect her.
And destroy anyone who's ever hurt her.

In a world ruled by blood, betrayal, and brutal codes, loving her could cost him everything.
Letting her go? Unthinkable.
