A broken widow walks into a house full of wolves and asks them to keep her safe.
I buried my husband at twenty-five. By the time the Morozovs took me in, there was very little of me left.
I came to their compound to heal. To paint. To walk through a room without flinching.
I did not expect Viktor Lazarev.
The head of security for this family, twenty-seven years older than I am, silver-haired, scarred, the most disciplined man I have ever met. He moves so silently at night that I only know he is there by the silence outside my door. The silence of a man listening for me to breathe.
Then the photographs arrive. The Albanians want me dead. The man who once stood watch outside my door does not leave my side at all.
I begin to want him there.
But he has a secret.
He did not start wanting me when I walked into this house. He wanted me while I was still my husband's.
He has waited for me for years.
