I was dead wrong.
Kreos Zokrov has found me, and this time, running from him isn’t an option. New York’s most feared mafia boss swears I’ve stolen from him, and to spare my family, he demands the one thing I swore I’d never give.
My freedom.
I’ve spent my life fighting and clawing my way through the streets to protect my siblings. I was so close to a new life, until Kreos dragged me back into his world of power and mayhem. But the worst part isn’t the constant danger…it’s that I feel safer with the monster than anywhere else.
He doesn’t just love. He possesses.
He doesn’t just protect. He destroys.
And when he says I belong to him, he means forever.
But with enemies closing in, and the past refusing to stay buried, the war between us threatens to burn everything to the ground.
If I want to survive this time, I’ll have to make a choice…
Embrace his darkness or be consumed by it.
I ran from him once.
He’ll never let me do it again.
