Clara Donahue thought she was heading to Europe for a fresh start. Instead, she is taken from one gilded cage to another. Delivered like a gift to the most dangerous man in the Bratva.
Maksim Vasiliev is cold, brutal, and obscenely rich. A king in a world built on blood and control. When her father offers Clara as payment for his debts, Maksim doesn’t hesitate. He’s been watching her. Wanting her. And now, she’s his.
But Clara isn’t the obedient princess he expected. She runs. She trembles but never truly breaks. And that only fuels his obsession.
She’s innocent. Untouched. And when he finally claims her, he does it in every way that matters.
Possessive. Punishing. Primal.
This isn’t a love story. This is a reckoning. And once he’s had her, he’ll never let her go.
