Meanwhile, Russian Mafia heir Maks Volkov is busy running his empire and aiding his partner, Nick Fordson, in smoothing out the kinks in his life. A man of terrifying repute, Maks has no room in his world for kindness or compassion, until he runs into Aria. Obsessed, he vows to make her his own, not realizing just how difficult that will turn out to be. As Aria's dark past resurfaces, pulling them all under, Maks will have to fight harder than he'd ever thought possible to hold onto the one thing in his life he can't afford to lose.
