Galena Yakonova had spent the last seven months running from the memory of her mother’s murder and her own assault. Homeless, traumatized, and fiercely independent, Galena didn’t want protection. She wanted revenge. Ilias Anthakos was a brutal strategist, one of the four men who ruled the criminal underworld. Bound by a blood oath made by monsters, he never wanted a bride. But nothing remains untouched in the Commission’s world. Not innocence. Not desire. And certainly not Galena. When secrets are unearthed and blood debts come due, Galena must decide whether to run or to fight. He never meant to love her, and she never meant to stay. But in a world governed by loyalty, violence, and legacy … they might just burn it all down and choose each other. Perfect for readers of arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, and the kind of mafia romance where the antihero falls hard —and only for her.
