She's the most capable person in the room.

Jo Whitfield has a system. She enters a room, she accounts for it, she categorises what she finds. She's been doing it since she was nineteen. She's very good at it. What she's never done is walk into a meeting with the Petrov Bratva and ask a question that makes the Pakhan go still.
Alexei Petrov has been running the most significant Bratva operation on the eastern seaboard for twelve years. He doesn't go still. He didn't, until Jo Whitfield asked about a financial routing structure she shouldn't have known existed — and revealed, without knowing it, that she's been carrying a dead man's secret for six years.
The secret belongs to Mikhail. Alexei's closest friend. Dead for twelve years. And the network Mikhail built before he died has been sitting inside the edges of Jo's world all along, waiting for exactly this moment.
She didn't stumble into his world. She was always in it.
The Pakhan's Price is the darkest, most complex instalment in the Sinners' Circle — a full-length, standalone-HEA Bratva romance with explicit heat, a heroine who sees everything, and a hero learning to let something be worth the cost. Series finale.
18+ only. Contains explicit content, organised crime, scenes of violence, and a dead man's network six years in the making.
