She's a ghost from Moscow. I should have known the second I saw her.
She's in my compound. Behind a locked door. I should stay away.
I don't.
I sit outside her door every night and read to her in Russian because hearing her breathe is the only thing that shuts my brain off. I tell myself it's protection.
I'm lying. I'm obsessed with a girl who doesn't speak.
Then one night, she whispers a name.
Milochka.
The girl I swore to a dying woman I'd find. The girl I stopped looking for three years ago because looking would have killed me.
The last Zakharova. The heir to a throne Alexei killed to take. Her sister was the price he made me pay for getting close.
If she finds out who I am, she'll hate me.
If he finds out she's alive, he'll come for her.
I made a promise once. I broke it.
I'll end every man hunting her before I fail her twice.
