Rustik -As one of five brothers forged in blood, ex–Russian military officer turned mafia enforcer Rustik lives by one code: loyalty above all. Together, he and his brothers have built an empire where betrayal is unforgivable and weakness is a luxury no one can afford. Carmen was never meant to be part of his world. But when he sees past her fear—catching the innocence she’s fought to protect and the strength she doesn’t even know she has—she becomes more than a responsibility. She’s a fire he can’t put out.
As enemies close in and family loyalties are tested, Rustik fights to earn Carmen’s trust—only to discover she’s the one person who can pierce the armor he’s spent a lifetime building. Protecting her will take everything he has… and loving her might be the most dangerous choice of all.
