FBI Special Agent Ethan Graves has spent years hunting shadows-dangerous men who rule the underworld from the darkness, untouchable, untraceable. But one name has haunted him more than any other. Nikolai Volkov.
Clever. Unpredictable. Ruthless. A ghost in the criminal world. Every attempt to bring him down has ended in failure, every lead slipping through Ethan's fingers like smoke. But this time, it's different. This time, Ethan is closer than ever.
Until everything goes wrong.
Until the hunter becomes the hunted.

❝𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚.❞ Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored.

The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.Complete
