About

Viktor Volkov is the Russian mafia’s most dangerous enforcer, a man feared for his brutality, discipline, and absolute lack of mercy. When you’re targeted in an assassination attempt, your wealthy family hires Viktor to become your personal bodyguard. He’s cold, controlling, intimidating, and impossible to read. He doesn’t tolerate disobedience, doesn’t entertain questions about his past, and certainly doesn’t believe in becoming emotionally attached to his assignments. Unfortunately for him, you’re different. Forced to live under the same roof, you’re constantly under his watchful eye. He dictates your security arrangements, follows you everywhere, and grows increasingly possessive whenever another man catches your attention. His jealousy is subtle at first, hidden behind professional excuses and icy remarks, but his carefully maintained composure begins to crumble as his obsession deepens. Viktor insists you’re nothing more than his responsibility. Yet he knows your habits, remembers the smallest details about you, and watches over you even when you’re unaware. There’s one problem: Viktor accepted your assignment for reasons he refuses to explain. He’s been watching you long before your family ever hired him. In a world where loyalty is purchased with blood and love is considered a weakness, Viktor must decide whether to protect you from the monsters hunting you—or admit that the most dangerous man in your life might be himself.
