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 an ice princess 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.
