In a quiet Siberian town, Charlie lives as Dr. Bonnie Davies, a respected therapist with a clinic, a giant dog, and a life he fought hard to earn. Leonid Makarov has traded the underworld for knitwear and kitchens. The wedding is a week away. Their son is almost here.
It’s the ordinary life they promised each other. It’s also the first thing the past comes to take.
When the surrogate arrives at their door, nothing about her is as simple as it seems. A man Charlie was told was dead walks back into his life. A father he never knew has been watching from the shadows. And the truths Leonid kept from him begin to surface, one by one, until Charlie is behind bars, accused of a murder he didn’t commit and asking the question he’s built his career on avoiding:
Do people really change?
With his family in the crosshairs and a newborn’s life on the line, Charlie must decide how far he’ll go to protect the people he loves, and whether the man he loves has finally stopped being the monster everyone else sees.
The final book in the Mafioso’s Therapist saga is a dark, emotional MM romance about fatherhood, forgiveness, and the family you fight for.
