She's lucky he came into her life right when he did, even if it was under false pretenses. If Vassily had gotten his hands on her, I can't even imagine what her life would have been like. How someone can turn on innocents after what happened to his one true love, baffles me. That scene was horrific. But everything about Charity and Nick was off the charts hot! -NetGalley Review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh my! What am amazing read! The level of suspense never lets up.
