The Yakuza and The Bratva have never gotten along. They've been enemies, betraying and killing each other since the beginning of time.

*****

When a rival mafia kills some of his high-ranking soldiers, Nikolai Sokolov decides to hit back by taking something he thought equally invaluable from the Yakuza Capo--his precious wife. Instead of the docile woman he was supposed to take captive, he finds a spitfire at his stead, who is definitely not the Yakuza's queen.

Kazuha Yamada is mistakenly kidnapped in place of her sister-in-law by the Bratva's cruel Pakhan. Stone cold meets pride as captor and captive are locked in a battle that neither is willing to lose.

He seeks obedience, she refuses to bend.

And in a world where loyalty is lethal and weakness is unforgivable, the lines between hatred, obsession, and love begin to blur.
