A How-To Guide for Capturing Your Captor

Kirill Vostrikov, feared head of the Russian mafia syndicate Black Rose, lives a life of control, power, and detachment, until Angelica Lorelai Brandt walks into his world. Bold, witty, and unafraid, she witnesses something she shouldn't and becomes a dangerous liability... or so he thinks.

Kidnapped to protect his secrets, Angelica defies every expectation. Fearless and sharp-tongued, she teases, challenges, and even plays with the dangerous man who should terrify her. Her audacity slowly chips away at Kirill's icy exterior, and for the first time, he feels something he hasn't in years: fascination, and the stirrings of desire.

As Angelica subtly leaves pieces of herself in his carefully controlled world, and Kirill struggles with emotions he has never allowed himself to feel, their dangerous game evolves into something far more complex. Between playful bickering, tender care, and the shadow of his criminal empire, two impossible people find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other.

In a world of violence, secrets, and power, can love survive when it is as reckless and unpredictable as Angelica herself?
