Wolves and Vipers

Dasha Mikhailova moves money for the Krasny Volki, a junior hockey team that exists mostly to hide it. Gio Rinaldi does the same job for the Vipers, on the other side of a truce neither family trusts. When the two organizations agree to a joint venture, they send their best people to run it — and lock them in the same office. Dasha and Gio are supposed to be watchdogs. They become something worse. Then Dasha's brother disappears, and Gio finds out what she has been quietly stealing for a year: not money, a way out. He should report her. Instead, he builds a second ledger. A dark hockey Bratva romance about two people on opposite sides of the same crime and the 4 a.m. drive that ends it.
