Bound by Sacrifice

Alina Volkova spent years carving out a life of her own-one far from the power struggles and bloodshed of her family's empire. But when she's taken in the night and wakes in the clutches of Declan O'Rourke, the ruthless head of the Irish mafia, her carefully built world shatters. He doesn't want ransom. He doesn't want leverage. He wants her skills. Declan's brother is dying, and conventional medicine has failed him. Alina is his last hope. But captivity breeds resentment, and defiance burns between them like a lit fuse. She refuses to bow, and he refuses to let her go. As threats close in from all sides-both from her vengeful brother and Declan's own enemies-their battle of wills turns into something far more dangerous. In a world where power is everything and mercy is weakness, Alina and Declan are on a collision course that could either save them-or destroy them both.
