It was supposed to be a business arrangement: marry Kira Baranov, take over the Russian mafia, live separate lives. Until Lyon Antonov fell in love. Kira Baranov had a plan: marry Lyon Antonov and find a way to claim a power of her own. Then business became pleasure and pleasure became love. When tragedy forced Kira to admit she’d gotten too close, she did the only things she could do—run. But she should have know there was no running from the Lion. When he finds her and brings her home, it’s not to revisit their passion, but to make her pay for her betrayal. Then the bratva tips into a deadly war for control, and betrayal is revealed from another corner. Now Lyon needs all the help he can get—and his most powerful ally may be the one woman he can’t afford to trust again.
