About this book

A broken woman emerges from captivity with nothing but a burning need for vengeance against the five men who destroyed her, only to find an unlikely savior in a dark, tormented mafia man who sees in her a reflection of his own shattered soul. Nicolai is haunted by his past and abandoned everything he knew, but when he discovers this fierce survivor on a snowy mountain, he's consumed by the need to protect her and make her enemies pay in blood. As they form an intense bond forged in trauma and fury, they must navigate the dangerous line between justice and obsession, and whether redemption is possible for a man willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he's come to love. This is a raw, passionate dark romance about two broken people finding power and purpose in each other while pursuing vengeance against impossible odds.
