Description:
My father sold me to the devil for fifty million dollars. The only problem? The devil wants to keep me.
SIENNA: I was the favorite daughter. The Italian princess. Until the day my father signed a contract and handed me over to our worst enemy to secure a truce.
Lev Sokolov. The Pakhan. The Wolf of the Adirondacks.
He is a monster made of scars and silence. He took me to his fortress of glass and steel on the edge of a cliff, stripped me of my name, and locked me in a gray room. He treats me like an asset. A pet. Furniture.
He refuses to speak to me. He watches me with cold, gray eyes that miss nothing, forcing me to beg for every scrap of food, every ounce of warmth.
I thought I was a peace offering. I thought I was a wife. But when I uncover the truth buried in his safe, I realize the game is rigged. My father didn't sell me to end a war. He paid the Wolf to dispose of me.
Now, I have two choices: Die as a victim, or learn to hunt with the Wolf.
LEV: They call her a sacrifice. I call her leverage.
I bought Sienna Moretti to humiliate her father. I intended to lock her away, use her as a shield, and eventually discard her when the treaty burned.
I didn't expect her to fight back. I didn't expect her to learn my language in secret. And I certainly didn't expect her to save my life when my own men turned on me.
She thinks I am her jailer. She thinks I am the villain of her story. She doesn't know that I am the only thing standing between her and a shallow grave.
I lied to her about everything-except one thing. I told her she was mine. And if anyone tries to touch her-even her own blood-I will burn the world down to ash.
The King is dead. Long live the Queen.
