In His Eyes

"Some betrayals break hearts, others start wars."

They told her to stay away from him.

That should have been easy.

Thea Vaughn has recently completed years of intensive training and specialized studies, training to become whoever a mission requires her to be. Taking on the alias Serena Zarkov for her very first field assignment, she arrives in St. Petersburg, Russia with a single objective: conduct her investigation from a distance, gather the necessary intelligence, and leave without drawing attention to herself.

No attachments. No mistakes.

And absolutely no contact with Azren Vyer Kazarin.

A man feared by governments and hunted by enemies. A man whose influence reaches places it shouldn't. A man surrounded by enough secrets to bring nations to their knees. He was never supposed to know she existed.

Keeping her distance should have been the simplest part of the mission.

Then he looked at her.

Not a passing glance, not an accident.

A look that lingered.

A look that stopped time.

And everything unravels.

Just once. Long enough to make her feel seen.

Long enough to make her wonder whether he can see through every lie she's ever told.

Because men like Azren Vyer Kazarin don't notice people by accident, they choose them. And once his attention settles on her, Thea discovers something far more dangerous than being hunted by a man like him.

Being wanted by him.
