He's her stalker… and her savior.
Nikolai Volkov is a hacker king who never wanted to wear any crown.
But when his father is murdered, he’s thrust to the head of a Russian Bratva—a brutal empire of guns and blood. Power isn’t a choice. Neither is loyalty.
Lyla Laine Oakley is a small-town girl wrapped in sunshine—naïve, untouched, and so temptingly out of place in a city built on underworld crime.
Chasing Broadway dreams, Lyla is unaware she’s dancing in a club owned by monsters who plan to sell her to the highest bidder.
She is nothing more than an easy target in Manhattan.
But where others see prey, Nikolai sees something worth protecting.
And once he locks eyes on her…they never leave.
He becomes her silent shadow.
Watching. Studying. Stalking.
Until watching isn''t enough.
Until studying turns into obsession.
And stalking becomes addiction.
The most dangerous men never fall without a fight…
and when Lyla sees the darkness behind the man, she’ll have to decide:
Will she run from the monster in the shadows?
Or let him claim her as his own?
Eyes on You is the first installment in the Sin Syndicate series of standalone mafia romances. At its heart is a hacker king turned reluctant Bratva boss—an antihero whose obsession drives him to stalk an innocent girl chasing Broadway dreams. Nikolai Volkov first crosses paths with Lyla Laine Oakley in a quiet Manhattan coffee shop—a chance encounter that drags a small-town girl into a world of violence, power, and forbidden passion, changing both their lives forever. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a brutal turf war, where a syndicate of ruthless mafia men, bound by their own code of honor, faces off against Salvadoran gangsters whose depravity infests the underworld.
