She inherited a billion-dollar empire. She didn't know it was built on blood money.
Calista Stavros thought she was getting a fresh start when she became CFO of her grandfather's shipping company. MIT-educated, brilliant with numbers, finally free from an abusive ex-husband—she was ready to rebuild her life for her nine-year-old son.
Then she discovered what really sailed on those ships.
Dmitri Volkov doesn't trust beautiful women with secrets. His late wife taught him that lesson the hard way. But this terrified single mom isn't just another suspect—she's the key to dismantling a criminal network spanning six countries. And she's asking him for help.
She needs protection. He needs evidence. Neither expected to need each other.
When Calista chooses justice over family loyalty, she becomes a target. Death threats. Kidnapping attempts. A son caught in the crossfire. The only man standing between her and destruction is the Interpol agent investigating her family—the same man who's stealing her carefully guarded heart.
As Dmitri risks his career to save the woman he's falling for, the line between protector and lover blurs. But breaking a criminal empire comes with a price. And some families don't forgive betrayal.
Bodies are piling up. Time is running out. And choosing love over blood might cost them everything.
Can a betrayed agent and a broken heiress build something real from wreckage? Or will the sins of her grandfather drag them both under?
Some legacies are worth destroying. Some loves are worth the cost.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
