How can I love what I tried to escape?For six years I’ve run from the Orlov bratva.I don’t need to see the ink under Roman’s shirt,Or touch the gun under his jacket,To know he has bratva written all over every muscled inch of his body..And now he wants me in his home.Not to mention in his bed.On paper, Roman Stevanovsky is a billionaire CEO.But that doesn’t mean he isn’t a killer in practice.
Which is probably why I can’t take my eyes off him.
I might have left behind my real name,And the Petrovsky fortune;But it seems...
Love is deadly. Trust is lethal.

Which is probably why I can’t take my eyes off him.
I might have left behind my real name,And the Petrovsky fortune;But it seems that my libidoRemains stubbornly hardwired to Russian bad boy.
I need the kind of power Roman wields.Hellfire, to regain what was stolen from my family.But I’m as close to possessing either power or hellfireAs I am to making my crazy fantasies about Roman himself come true.
ROMAN
Lucia is hiding something.You can’t fake that kind of fear.The fear of being huntedBy death itself.
I know how it feels to have no choice but run.To guard secrets that aren’t mine to tell.To live with a revengeThat I can never take.
I told myself I wouldn’t get involvedIn whatever storm is chasing Lucia.I only meant to give her a chance,The means to outrun it.
But now she’s in my home.Her body in my bedHer heart stealing mine.Lucia’s life belongs to me, even if her secrets are hers alone.
So if the storm decides to come for her?Well—I protect what is mine.And I’m no storm.I’m the f***ing apocalypse.
