She was their most lethal weapon. Until they broke her.
Francesca Vitali was the crown jewel of her family's criminal empire-a cold, calculated assassin who never missed her mark. But when a brutal betrayal leaves her paralyzed from the waist down, her own father discards her like broken glass. Left for dead in the ruins of her old life, she is captured by her family's fiercest enemy: Maksim Volkov, the towering, ruthless Don of the Volkov Bratva.
He doesn't keep dead weight. He builds an empire.
Maksim doesn't see a broken girl; he sees an apex predator trapped in a cage. Bringing her to his frozen Siberian dacha, he refuses to let her spirit die. While Francesca uses her brilliant, lethal mind to architect the expansion of the Volkov territory from a wheelchair, she fights a private, grueling war behind closed doors to reclaim her body.
Through every agonizing mile, every blinding flash of neural pain, Maksim is there-massaging away the torment, anchoring her weakness with his terrifying strength, and treating her as his absolute, undisputed equal.
From the ashes of hatred, a queen is born.
