ELENASeven years ago, Daniil Voronin took my father from me.
He was the Bratva’s Executioner. The man trusted to decide who was guilty, who was loyal, and who deserved to die. He decided my father was a traitor.
I built a life without answers. I became a nurse, learned how to save people instead of destroying them, and stayed far away from the world that left my family in ruins. Then someone sends me a message.
Your father was innocent.
Suddenly, the past isn’t buried anymore. And neither is the man responsible for it. Daniil is colder than I remember. More dangerous. Infuriatingly controlled. He commands instead of asks, watches me like I’m something he intends to protect, and makes it impossible to forget that his hands are capable of terrible things.
I should hate him.
Some days, I do.
That doesn’t stop me from wanting him.
And it definitely doesn’t stop him from wanting me.
DANIILI judged Sergei Karpov. I pulled the trigger. I never questioned whether I was right.
Until Elena.
Someone is digging into a case that should have stayed buried, and Sergei’s daughter has become their target. Keeping her alive means bringing her into my home, uncovering secrets someone has killed to protect, and confronting the one thing an Executioner can never afford.
The possibility that I was wrong.
Elena challenges every order I give her. She looks at the blood on my hands and refuses to look away. She should want nothing from me except answers. Instead, every day she spends under my roof makes my control slip a little further. Because someone wants Elena. Someone has already made the mistake of touching her. And they’re about to learn why men pray they’re never judged by me.
She may never forgive me for what I’ve done. I’ll never ask her to. But Elena Karpov has become the one thing I will burn an empire to protect.
And God help anyone who tries to take her from me.
