Anya Sinclair knew Nikolai Volkov for exactly one night β his hands, his whispered Russian, the intensity that consumed her completely. She didn't know he commanded the most powerful crime family on the Eastern Seaboard.
By the time she discovered the truth, the pregnancy test was already positive.
New city. New name. A daughter named Zara with ice-blue eyes belonging to a man Anya prayed would never find them.
π He found them anyway. Standing in her doorway with a stillness more terrifying than rage.
"You took something that belongs to me." "She's not a possession." "No. She's a miracle."
Nikolai doesn't drag them back. He moves across the street. Sends security she never requested. Shows up to preschool pickup and reads bedtime stories in two languages.
Anya fights the gravitational pull of a man who dismantles empires before breakfast. But watching him hold Zara like she's made of glass β watching the most dangerous man she knows become gentle β dismantles every wall she built.
"I won't pull you into my world," he promises one night. "I'll build a new one. For her. For you."
She wants to disbelieve him. But he's already started constructing it.
β An intensely gripping dark romance where the deadliest man alive discovers his greatest weakness β and his fiercest reason to change!
