"Take the tip, and you have my word you won't hear from me again. Take the contract, and for the next several months, you will belong, exclusively, to me." LUCIA I've spent six years running from the Orlov bratva. I might have left behind my real name and the Petrovsky fortune, but my libido seems to have remained stubbornly hardwired to Russian bad boy. I don't need to see the ink under Roman's shirt, or touch the gun under his jacket, to know he has bratva written all over every muscled inch of his body. And now he wants me in his home. Not to mention in his bed. On paper, Roman Stevanovsky is the billionaire CEO of Hale Property. But that doesn't mean he isn't a killer in practice. Which is probably why I can't take my eyes off him. What I really need is the kind of power Roman represents, the hellfire needed to regain the world that was stolen from my family. But I'm about as close to possessing either power or hellfire as I am of making my crazy fantasies about Roman himself come true. ROMAN There's no doubt in my mind that Lucia is hiding something. You can't fake that kind of fear. The fear of being hunted by death itself. I know how it feels to have no choice but run. To guard secrets that aren't mine to tell. To live with a revenge I can never take. I don't want to involve myself in whatever storm is chasing Lucia. But I can certainly give her a way out, or at least the resources to outrun it. And if the storm decides to come for her? Well, I protect what is mine. And I'm no storm. I'm the f***ing apocalypse.
