Five years ago Katya Rybak put a Bratva soldier on a witness stand and walked out of a federal courthouse into a new name.
Five years ago Luka Volkov watched her do it from the gallery and did not stop her.
Now her cover is gone, her diner is a crime scene, and the man who finds her first is the one man who was never supposed to look.
Luka is capo now, and the family is missing three million it believes he took. Katya is the only person alive who knows how the money moved. He offers her protection in his house. She rewrites his terms before his car leaves the station.
She is not his prisoner. She is not his witness. She is the only person in Chicago who is not afraid of him, and that is a problem for both of them.
The ledger she is looking for is not a list of debts. It is a list of names-children he has been moving out of the city, quietly, for four years.
Hers is the last one.
A dark Bratva second chance bully romance with a heroine who made her own deal and a hero who has been saving people he could never admit to.
