Kiara Hendrix walked away from the only man she ever loved because loving him meant losing herself.
When Yurii Bolosh became Pakhan of the Fedorov Bratva, the man she loved disappeared behind silence, blood, and an obsession that consumed him: uncovering the truth behind his familys' deaths. The higher he rose, the further he slipped from her grasp. He stopped choosing her. Stopped letting her in.
So she chose herself.
She walked away before his hunt for justice buried them both.
But Yurii never stopped searching, not for answers, and most especially not for her.
Now, pulled back into the same orbit by loyalty, the marriage of their bestfriends, and unfinished love, Kiara finds herself face to face with the man she left behind. He's more powerful. More dangerous. And still undone by her presence.
She knows she should stay away.
Because Yurii Bolosh does not love in halves. He never has. What he gives, he gives with teeth, with blood in his mouth and devotion.
And that terrifies her.
He tells her he will respect her distance. That he understands why she left. That he will not touch, will not ask, will not beg.
But restraint has never been his strength. And as the past claws its way to the surface and vengeance inches closer to becoming reality, Kiara must decide what frightens her more:
Walking away from the man who still knows her heart like the back of his hand.
Or staying long enough to find out whether she was the one meant to save him from himself or if she was always destined to be the thing he would lose last.
