At seventeen, Ariana watched her father die in front of her, murdered in cold blood as their home went up in flames. She escaped that night with nothing but her life and a promise to uncover the truth. Now, years later, Ariana is a strong, self-reliant woman with one mission: track down her father's killer. But the closer she gets to answers, the more dangerous the shadows around her become. Everything shifts the day Vitaly-the ruthless, magnetic head of the Russian mafia-steps into the quiet church office where she works, seeking arrangements for his own father's funeral. One look at her, and he's intrigued. One conversation, and he's obsessed. Ariana wants nothing to do with him... and she tells him exactly that. But Vitaly isn't a man who accepts rejection. Especially not from the one woman he can't stop thinking about. As Ariana chases the truth, Vitaly chases her. And when their worlds collide, the threat stalking her becomes a threat to them both. To claim her, he'll have to keep her alive-whether she wants his protection or not.
