❝I'll put your slippery hands to good use, kisanka. I know you're used to stealing money and jewels, but this time, I want you to finish what your brother failed to do. I want you to steal secrets...and bring them to me.❞

━━━━━・ ⚘ ・━━━━━

You left your job and tried to save money in an attempt to leave St. Petersburg, after your brother, Aleks, died mysteriously. While the entire world seemed to have forgotten about you and your brother, one man didn't—his killer. And now, Mikhail was after you because he believes in debts being paid, even after death. He's forcing you to finish your brother's job—to spy on the mafia syndicate hidden in the shadowy streets of Moscow and return without a bullet between your eyes. The problem is, Mikhail's slowly starting to realise why Aleks kept you hidden.

You’re smarter than you let on, more resourceful than he expected, and maddeningly defiant in ways that make you impossible to ignore. Mikhail isn’t just drawn to your usefulness; he’s drawn to you. But he doesn’t trust his own feelings—attachment is the first step to disaster—he learned that with Aleks. But as Mikhail watches you navigate his world with equal parts fear and defiance, he begins to question if keeping you alive is a mistake—or if letting you go might shatter the control he’s fought so hard to maintain.

Either way, he knows one thing: you’re his undoing.
