The Russian mafia followed a set of old-fashioned traditions, one of which is called 'The blood pact'. To the Dimitri family, the strongest bonds are blood bonds. That's what the last living descendant of the Dimitris, Alexi Dimitri, believes.
When wrong intel arrives, accusing his father's former right-hand man, Igor Knight, of having a hand in his parents' murders, Igor has no option but to merge their families through marriage to gain his Don's trust and save his family from a dark fate. The blood pact binds his daughter, Sophie knight, and Alexi Dimitri in holy matrimony, till death do them part.
The young woman learned long ago that everything happens for a reason, so when it came down to a life-or-death situation, there was no second-guessing herself. It was either die at the hands of the Russian Don or die living alongside the Russian Don.
Sophie Knight knew that life loves to shoot you with its surprises, almost like a game of Russian roulette, but what she didn't know is that the bullet is going to hurt like a bitch.
