“What do you want?” Nikolay barks. How did he know I was here? He’s in the bedroom.
I enter his room. His energy and proximity intimidate me. Without a buffer between us, my breathing is irregular. The room is the size of my entire flat, but I’m still suffocating.
“I need the password for the intranet. I have homework. The funeral is this week. I can’t fall behind.”
He moves to a small desk, scribbles on a note-sized piece of paper, takes four long strides, and hands it to me. The tension crackles like static electricity, taking me by surprise. He’s impressive and intimidating. I attempt to take the paper gracefully, but out of fear of our fingers touching. I flinch, and the paper flutters to the floor.
“You’re clumsy,” he grumbles as he bends to pick it up. “We’ll try this again.” He hands the paper to me once more.
I take it from him, careful not to touch his fingers, and clutch the note like it’s a life raft. The password is a vehicle to my independent life within these walls.
He has no clue I have plans to escape.

About the Book
In the cold, unforgiving heart of Russia, young Nikolay is thrust into the world of power and shadows, taking the reins as the new Don after his father’s abrupt demise. Bound by duty and tradition, he ventures to the grandeur of London to honor an arranged union with the enigmatic Anya. As passion and peril intertwine, the duo must seal their fates before a lurking mole within the empire strikes again, threatening to topple the empire they’re destined to lead.
Anya lives in the pulsating heart of London, where neon lights and hypnotic beats from the clubs promise a night of liberation. For Anya, the allure of freedom beckons stronger than any gilded cage, even if it’s the luxurious mansion of the city’s most powerful underworld figure, Nikolai.
When the sun sets and London’s nightlife comes alive, Anya, the fierce and independent bride-to-be, hatches a plan. Tired of being underestimated, she slips past the guards and into the night, eager to prove she’s more than a pawn in this dangerous game of power.
Drawn to the rhythmic allure of a popular club, Anya loses herself in the music, the crowd, and the exhilarating thrill of anonymity. However, danger lurks in unexpected places. Laced with a sinister intent, a drink makes its way to her hands. As the world around her blurs and distorts, Anya realizes she’s not as invulnerable as she believed.
Nikolai can’t deny his feelings for Anya and breaks his own rule by letting her sleep in his bed so he can care for her.
However, before their wedding, Anya is missing.
Will Nikolai reach Anya in time ? Will this incident pull them closer together or push them irrevocably apart? In a world where trust is as rare as loyalty, the two will have to confront their feelings and fears, redefining the boundaries of their relationship.

Very good, especially since it was back when these guys knew each other in Russia.

So many clerical and writing errors! Frustrating to stop and try to decipher what is supposed to be said!

The story itself was interesting, but I ended up skimming the entire book. The writing wasn’t the best.
LeMiliere –
This Mafia romance is one I found impossible to put down, with romance, chemistry, intrigue, and mystery.

This book was very good. The author did not solve who murdered both their fathers. I guess that’s left open for one of the next two books.
