Bound by Duty

Being the daughter of New York's most feared Don comes with unlimited money, a target on your back, and Nikolai Cross.

Built like a tank and twice as lethal, Nikolai was hired for one reason: to keep Nina D'Angelo alive in a city crawling with rival syndicates. He's a weapon in a black suit-cold, unyielding, and frustratingly immune to her charm. No matter how close she gets, Nikolai keeps a firm, unbreakable line between his job and his employer's daughter.

But behind his cold eyes and quiet routine, Nina sees every small gesture of protection, and her feelings for him are growing harder to hide. She's used to getting whatever she wants, but the only thing she truly desires is the one man trained never to give in.

In a world built on power, bloodlines, and brutal violence, pushing his boundaries is a dangerous game. Nina is determined to break through his icy exterior, even if Nikolai is dead-set on guarding his heart as fiercely as he guards her life.
