The Quiet Enforcer

Nika Volkov lands in Chicago for her sister's wedding and buries her instead. The groom's family has a debt, and Bratva law says the bride's estate settles it, which means Nika. The enforcer holding the ledger is Arkady Belov, forty-four, the quietest man at any table in the city, and the man who knows how her sister really died. He offers her a deal: marry him under Bratva law, be seen to accept it, and he'll give her the file. She says yes to find out what he did. He says yes to keep her alive. But the pakhan's son wants the old man's place, and Nika is the fastest way to take it. When the vote comes, she'll either be the reason Arkady keeps everything or the reason he loses it.
