The man who would kill anyone to protect his family... 
has no idea he already has one. 

Five years ago, I fell for the only man I should have feared.

A dangerously handsome Russian.

One unforgettable night.

Then I woke up alone.

No goodbye. No explanation.
No reason to believe I'd ever meant anything to him.

So I buried my broken heart... and raised the little piece of him he never knew he left behind.

I never expected to see   Dmitri Antonov   again.

Until my own brother betrayed us both.

To save himself, he sold my name to the   Bratva Blacklist  .

Now I'm trapped in Moscow, where   I am the debt  ... and the man sent to collect me is the same man who shattered my heart.

Only Dmitri isn't the man I remember.

He's the   Volkov Bratva's most feared enforcer  -a man whispered about in fear, a man who doesn't need to make threats because one look is enough to make grown men lower their eyes.

He calls me   collateral  .

Yet every door is locked to keep me safe.

Every guard answers only to him.

Every threat disappears before it can reach me.

He keeps telling me this is only business.

His eyes tell a different story. 

Then I discover why my brother really sold me.

Not because I was payment.

Because I was the only weapon capable of bringing Dmitri Antonov to his knees.

Not me.

Our son. 

Somewhere across the ocean, a little boy is waiting for the father who never knew he existed.

The father who would burn the world to protect him.

The man who would kill anyone to protect his family... 
has no idea he already has one.
