9 parts Ongoing Anton Volkov doesn't love. He commands, he takes, and he destroys. As the ruthless Don of the Bratva, emotions are tools to manipulate, and he's perfected the art of remaining untouchable. Fear is his greatest weapon, and mercy is a weakness he buried long ago.
Then there's Irina Romanov.
A sharp-witted math teacher with no place in his world, she's everything Anton despises: bold, fearless, and completely unimpressed by his power. Where others cower at his name, she stands tall. Where others tremble under his gaze, she meets it head-on. Irina challenges him with a fire he can't extinguish, igniting something dangerous within him.
She's chaos personified-fierce, unyielding, and a threat to the control he's spent years building. She's a spark in the darkness, threatening to set his empire ablaze.
Anton wants to dominate her, to bend her to his will. But every time she resists, he's drawn closer, caught in a battle he's never fought before. In a world built on violence and fear, Irina Romanov might be the only person bold enough to defy Anton Volkov.
And for the first time, Anton doesn't know if he should destroy her-or surrender completely.
