Taming the Bratva Broker

Six documents. One nondisclosure. No questions. Anya Kovalenko took the job because it paid for her last semester. She corrected a number in the margin on her third day and saved Viktor Novik a quarter of a million dollars. He offered her a desk. She took it on three conditions: she keeps her apartment, her name, and her degree. Eight months at the edges of a business that has no edges. Eight months of watching a man who never explains himself price the whole city. Then Oleg hands her a document to translate and she recognizes the address at the bottom. The mountain that had no other side had one. She drives. She warns him. She gets him to a vet clinic in Skokie and holds his shoulder together with both hands. He will not be Viktor Novik after Tuesday. She's still after the degree.
