Some people are haunted by their past. I’m hunted by mine.

Maksim Smolov wasn’t the monster I was running from. He’s the devil I found.

Those deep brown eyes didn’t even blink. One minute, I’m being chased down a dark alleyway by the nastiest demons from my past; the next, they’re begging for mercy from a man in an expensive suit.

If I had known my savior was the most feared mafia boss in New York, I might not have repaid his kindness with a kiss—a kiss that led to the hottest night of my life—but I did, and that was that.

A week later, I’m back fending for myself. So, when I hear my best friend is taking private self-defense classes, I beg to join her. It seems like a good idea… until I meet our teacher.

My one-night stand.

Turns out, he’s her uncle. Tsar of the American underworld. Maksim Smolov. Just like that, I’m not sure what to be more afraid of.

The demons from my past… or what this devil will do when he finds out about them
