But just as her life finally begins to settle Ivan Petrov enters it, and he's had his eyes set on her since the first moment he saw her dance. Their relationship however, started long before he stepped into her brothel, back when he assisted in the murder of her family. As his attraction to her deepens she swears revenge, vowing to avenge their death.
The only problem? She's as drawn to him as he is to her, and in a world of uncertainty Ivan may be able to provide solace in more ways than one.

But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself.

Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair.
