He was given one mission. Hunt them down. Use whoever he had to. Feel nothing.
Nikolai is the King family's most ruthless enforcer -- a weapon in human form, loyal to a fault, built for one purpose. When Gia, Marco, and Nico go underground and the family needs answers, Nikolai doesn't ask questions. He finds the weakness and he pulls the thread.
The weakness has a name: Sophia. Marco's sister. Sheltered, sharp-eyed, and completely untouched by the world that raised her brother. She was sent overseas years ago -- kept clean, kept safe, kept out of everything. She doesn't know what her family is. She doesn't know she's bait.
She doesn't know him at all. That's exactly why Nikolai chose her.
What begins as surveillance becomes proximity. Proximity becomes something Nikolai doesn't have a word for -- something his training never prepared him to handle. Sophia is curious where she should be afraid. She asks questions nobody in his world ever asks. She looks at him like he's a person instead of a threat.
And for the first time in a very long life of doing terrible things for powerful people, Nikolai hesitates.
For her part, Sophia has always sensed the world she was protected from lurking just out of reach. She never expected it to arrive looking like him.
When the truth unravels -- who Nikolai is, what he was sent to do, and what her family has been plotting -- everything burns. Trust. Safety. The careful distance Sophia kept between herself and the darkness her whole life.
But Nikolai has made his choice. And the price of that choice is something he can never get back.
Some debts are paid in blood. Some are paid in pieces of yourself you can't reclaim. Nikolai is about to find out which kind of man he's willing to be -- and what he's willing to lose to become him.
