Jelani Volkov.

At twenty-four years of age, Jelani didn't expect his life to become what it had. He had moved to Russia to study abroad, only to end up in a forced marriage to Kazimir Volkov. The hope of ever leaving Kazimir had diminished, and after having their first child and now pregnant with the second, that hope had been completely snuffed out. Jelani just wanted to survive, and up until this point he had been.

Dmitri Rosanov has returned to Russia to take his place at the right hand of the Bratva. Dmitri's life had been nothing but missions and war, until he's tasked with executing Kazimir Volkov. What he didn't expect was to become so enthralled with the little family Kazimir left behind. Dmitri had just merely existed and spent the majority of his life carrying out orders, but after becoming intertwined with Jelani's life, he's realizing that he finally wants something more than a mission, more than blood.

With Dmitri fighting for Jelani's love, and Jelani running from Dmitri's, where do they go from here?
