The Volkov Ledger: Book 3
"I will let the whole city burn to the ground before I ever let a single soul take you from me."
Those were the words Ares Volkov whispered into the dark before his world turned to ash. Now, the city is burning-not by his command, but by the hands of the women he systematically underestimated.
Above ground, Director Volkov maintains the pristine facade of an untouchable titan and dedicated family man. Below ground, he is a broken tyrant trapped in a concrete cell of his own guilt, weeping over a ghost. He believes Sheizah Ashcroft is dead. He believes his ledger is sealed forever.
He couldn't be more wrong.
Saved from the brink of death by Elizabeth Ashbourne and hidden in the shadows, Sheizah has been quietly healing, waiting for the foundation to fracture. When Elizabeth orchestrates a daring operation to free Sarah-Sheizah's fiercest protector-from a high-security prison, the final pieces of an unshakeable alliance fall into place. Together, they begin unearthing the dark, buried secrets of the Ashcroft-Volkov history, setting off a chain reaction that will tear the Volkov Group apart from the inside out.
When the truth detonates and Ares launches a desperate, frantic hunt to reclaim his ultimate possession, Sheizah must find the strength to step out of the dark. To destroy the ledger once and for all, she will stand her ground and face the architect of her nightmare one last time-not as his property, but as his downfall.
No ledgers. No shadows. No master.
