An Eye for an Eye

Gianina Rossi, the Cosa Nostra's principessa, has been out of the country for years. Imprisoned by nightmares that serve as a constant reminder, she doesn't plan on staying in New York for long when she visits. She's learned to survive with a past she can't seem to escape. Having convinced herself she can never move on, she's built her walls high enough to keep others out.

Aleksei Ivanov, the Bratva's Don, is the youngest in the game. With a past that has shaped him into the man he is today, and a reputation for being ruthless and cold, he leaves no room in his icy heart for love. With an appetite for revenge prompted by a tragedy that left him alone, he'll do whatever it takes to satisfy it.

Including getting married.

With no intention of treating it other than what it is - a business transaction.

What happens when he realizes she's slowly melting his icy heart?
What happens when she realizes he's breaking through her walls?

Will they learn to trust and rely on each other?

And when they realize their pasts are more intertwined than they could have predicted, will Aleksei still do whatever it takes to get his revenge?

Including using Gianina.
