Always You

Nikolai Romano- a name that commands fear. As the heir to one of the most powerful crime families, he has built his life on bloodshed and control, trusting no one and showing mercy to even fewer. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable-until a small girl, Kaia Monroe stumbles into his world.

Kaia is everything Nikolai is not. Shy, kind, and too innocent for the world he rules, she has no place in his life. But from the moment he meets her, something shifts. She doesn't flinch from his darkness, doesn't cower like everyone else. Instead, she softens the sharp edges of a man who thought he had no soul left to save.

For the first time, Nikolai finds himself wanting to protect rather than destroy. Kaia becomes his only exception, the one person he's willing to show kindness to. But the more he holds onto her, the more his enemies see her as a weakness to exploit. And in his world, love is the most dangerous weapon of all.

When the threats against Kaia become too great, Nikolai is forced to make a choice-protect the only good thing in his life, or let her go before his love gets her killed. But Kaia isn't as fragile as she seems, and she's about to prove that even in the darkest places, light can still shine.
