Most of Pavel Volkov’s life has revolved around a single goal—annihilate the Bratva in retaliation for the massacre of his entire family when he was just seven years old. However, when it’s finally time to carry out his mission, he’s sidelined by news he never anticipated. He has a son. Nikolai. And Nikolai is the only reason he would ever push his original goal aside, leaving Russia and his dreams of revenge behind. Nikolai is also the reason he doesn’t want to stay on the run, always just outside the mafia’s reach, forever. He wants to settle down. Make a real life for his son. Maybe even find a wife.
