Doomed Proposal

The past had no place in the future. Anastasia Ognyanova had always lived by that rule-until the day she was forced to face the hardest choice of her life. On the verge of losing the career she had worked so tirelessly to build, salvation comes knocking at her door. Yet it proves far less tempting than it first appears.

After five years of being away, Antim Avramov returns to the small town that still holds his heart. He has only one purpose. Once he appears on the doorstep of his childhood love, there is no turning back. If she accepts his proposal, everything will crumble beneath their feet.

The line between past and future blurs when the fate of an ambitious journalist and a sorrowful policeman intertwines for one final dance. Lies rise to the surface, dangers lurk in every shadow, and only they can decide-turn their backs on the past, or plunge head first into its depths, dragging everything else with them.
