"I have less than four hours before Makar calls, but I will make them count. For us. But especially for her."

It's the night before your wedding, but Ilya is straining under the weight of everything that is going wrong. His sister suffered a nervous breakdown, lesser-known gangs are encroaching on Zhukov territory, and his brother has been missing for nearly a week. And now a defector from a rival bratva demands a meeting. Tonight.

All Ilya wants is to hold you, the center of his emotional world.

But he only has so much time before he has to go.

Will you let him?
