Two empires. One contract. Zero trust.
Valentina De Luca built her empire from nothing-cold, brilliant, untouchable.
Kyle Vetrov was made at thirteen-ruthless, unreadable, lethal.
They were never supposed to meet.
But one snowy night, fate changed everything.
Now bound by blood and a forced engagement, they must navigate lies, loyalty, and a love neither saw coming.
He calls her мoё сердце-my heart.
But in a world ruled by shadows... even hearts can be weapons.

To him, loyalty is forged in fire, and his closest men, his ruthless consigliere and his violent enforcer, are bound to him in every way that matters. As the days pass by, Eve learns her role is far more dangerous than the daughter of a don, far more consuming than the bride of a king. She has been bound not to one man, but three. Each claims a piece of her: Vladimir, cold and commanding, who rules with unshakable control. Dante, the sharp-minded strategist, whose quiet intensity hides a lethal edge. Grayson, brutal and untamed, a storm of violence and desire. Together, they pull Eve into a world of fractured loyalties and forbidden hunger, where passion is entwined with peril and betrayal carries a death sentence. She was meant to unite two empires. Instead, she may be the spark that sets them all on fire.
