He wasn't supposed to see her. One accidental glance on a city street was all it took for Nikolai Volkovi-ruthless boss of the Russian mafia-to lose the one thing he's always controlled: himself. Lila Roslyn is gentle in a brutal world. She apologizes when she shouldn't, believes in fairytales despite a childhood that taught her better, and sleeps peacefully unaware that a devil now listens to her breathe just so he can survive the night. Watching her becomes a need. Protecting her becomes a compulsion. Touching her feels like a sin he doesn't trust himself to survive. "She's my fucking drug and my antidote." As Lila begins to sense the man in the shadows-and the way his presence awakens something dangerous and tender inside her-Nikolai's empire starts to notice his weakness. When his father threatens to destroy the woman softening him, Nikolai is forced to choose between blood and salvation. Because the devil has found something holy enough to kneel for... and he will burn the world before he lets her be taken from him.
