He.
Confident. Sophisticated. Ruthlessness in a suit, the flip side of the Russian crime family coin Valeri Kovalenko keeps an aloof distance from the messy world of his brother and father. Enshrined in a glittering office in St Petersburg, Valeri appreciates the brilliant shine of money far more than the glow of romance. But the one woman he shouldn't want becomes the one thing he desires most of all.
She.
Kidnapped. Set on lay-away as a bride, Sophie Brant endures emotional and physical imprisonment at the Kovalenko family fortress. A desperate attempt to regain her normal life brings war to the family's well-guarded stronghold and sends her to an unknown location for safekeeping. But the keeper of the safe throws Sophie's destiny off the rails for good when he turns out to be both nothing, and everything, like the man she's just escaped from.
Held in the seductive sway of the Bratva's financial kingpin, Sophie begins to forget her life before the Kovalenkos, but her feelings for two men who are both alike and different in every way just may tear her stolen heart in two.
