For five years, Evangeline "Eva" Earnest lived a quiet, ordinary life in America, far away from the dark shadow of the family that adopted her. But when she's abruptly summoned back to Russia to live with the powerful Romanov family, she is thrust into the opulent, dangerous world of the Aletytis Academy of Honors-a school where the global elite and the mafia underworld collide. Eva wants nothing to do with her new life, preferring to hide in the shadows and lose herself in the underground breakdancing scene of Moscow. She certainly wants nothing to do with her adoptive brother, Valerian Romanov. He is the academy's untouchable, golden-boy heir to the Classic Russian Syndicate, surrounded by a court of admirers and dangerous secrets. He has never noticed her. She prefers it that way. But when Valerian follows her into the dark and discovers the girl behind the quiet facade, the icy boundaries between them begin to fracture. In a world where weakness is a death sentence and secrets are currency, Eva is about to learn that the most dangerous place to hide is right next to the boy who rules the night. ______________________ The Tropes: Forbidden Romance, Forced Proximity (Roommates/Adoptive Siblings), Dark Academia, Mob/Mafia Heir, Secret Identity.
