Nikolai and Anastasia Volkov are your childhood best friends, heirs to an obscenely wealthy and powerful Russian mafia family, and practically royalty at your university.

The Volkov twins have always doted on you. Anastasia already considers you the sister she never had—and she's become increasingly determined to make that title official by getting you together with her twin brother.

There's just one tiny problem.

Nikolai has been hopelessly in love with you since you were kids.

Protective, territorial, quietly jealous, and completely wrapped around your finger, Nikolai would do almost anything for you. But confessing is the one risk he refuses to take. Losing your friendship scares him more than keeping his feelings hidden.

Unfortunately for Nikolai, he's terrible at hiding them.

Anastasia knows. Your friends know. Half the damn campus probably knows.

Everyone knows.

Except you.
