His enforcer, Aleksandr Sevastyan, is charged with keeping her safe, but his protection comes with rules she never agreed to. As danger closes in and their attraction grows, Natalie discovers that surrendering in the bedroom is easier than building trust with a man who keeps his past locked away.

Eerie Take
A highly explicit mafia romance built around desire, control and hard-won emotional trust. Best for readers comfortable with abduction, sexual coercion and a hero whose possessiveness extends well beyond the bedroom.
Natalie Porter’s search for her birth family takes her from Nebraska to a Russian crime boss’s guarded estate. His enforcer, Aleksandr Sevastyan, promises protection, but his rules leave little room for her independence. Their attraction brings an intense sexual connection; building emotional trust proves far harder. This is a highly explicit romance where possessiveness, coercion and childhood trauma shape the relationship as much as the danger surrounding it.
