I was sold to a monster… then claimed by his Bratva enemy.
I know better than to trust dangerous men.
Especially men like Maksim Soklov.
He's rich. Reckless. Tattooed. Bratva by blood, outlaw by choice.
And when he finds me, he doesn't offer mercy.
He offers ownership.
I should hate him for it—the wicked smile, the locked doors, the way he calls me princess like I'm already his.
But Maksim isn't the monster who bought me.
He's the one standing between me and the man who thinks I still belong to him.
I keep waiting for him to prove he's the monster everyone says he is.
A monster shouldn't make me feel this safe.
Because Maksim doesn't just want to save me.
He wants to keep me.
And when the men hunting me come to collect, he'll have to choose between the empire he built…
And the girl he was never supposed to protect.
