But behind the silk and shadow, she was trained as Circe, the deadliest assassin no one ever saw coming. When her brother is murdered and a hidden war threatens the fragile balance of New York's criminal empires, Asha returns to reclaim her legacy. But she never expected Nikolai Volkov-heir to the Russian Bratva, cold-blooded strategist, and a man obsessed with her darkness. When he uncovers her secret, he doesn't run-he tries to claim her. Bound by blood, betrayal, and a brutal alliance, Asha and Nikolai become fire and gasoline. But when a forgotten enemy resurfaces-one who shares Asha's blood and wants to use her as a pawn-their forbidden love may ignite a war neither of them can survive.
