When your best friend vanishes into the dangerous underworld, you'll do anything to find her—even take a nanny position with a ruthless Bratva king who makes your skin crawl. Dimitri Ivanov is exactly the kind of powerful, untouchable man you've spent your life avoiding, but he's your only way into the dark world where Cassie disappeared. As you navigate his mansion, his secrets, and the terrifying game that threatens to consume you both, the line between survival and trust starts to blur in ways you never expected. This is a thrilling, heart-pounding journey about choosing to be brave for the people we love, even when it means facing our deepest fears.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual, and dangerous—industrial beats meet sultry R&B and moody alternative. Intense chemistry wrapped in tension, power plays, and the intoxicating pull of forbidden desire. Think Nine Inch Nails meets The Weeknd: raw, explicit, utterly consuming.
