One kill is all it takes for her to be mine.

She's just a pawn in the Bratva's games. A virginal prize, exchanged from one boss to another. Her perfect curves and that sparkling smile, she'd be deadly if she hadn't been sheltered from her father's wicked world. Now she's being thrust into it.

A marriage to a man I know has a terrible temper and a cruel sense of torture.

She deserves better. Better than him. Better than me.

But I never said I'd save her out of the goodness in my heart.

I'll save her. I'll protect her.

And I will claim her. Even if it means the wrath of every family in Brighton Beach descends upon me.
