The Underboss

Mara Petrova saw the wrong thing on the wrong night. Now she belongs to the man who cleans up after the Volkov family — a man twenty years older, twice as dangerous, and the only thing standing between her and a shallow grave in the marshes. Dmitri Volkov doesn't take hostages. He takes assets. But Mara isn't the quiet girl he expected, and the longer she stays in his house, the less he can pretend she's a liability. When his brother demands her as payment for a broken truce, Dmitri has to choose between the empire he's spent two decades dismantling and the woman who is dismantling him. She makes the choice for him.
