THE ECONOMY OF FORCE
An Aimee Neyra Novel
Nika Sokolova doesn't raise her voice. She's never needed to.
A year after her father's murder, she runs the Sokolov Bratva the only way she knows how: with total control and zero wasted motion. But the books don't add up, someone close to her is lying, and the one man who can find the truth is the last person who should ever set foot in her world.
Daniel Reyes reads people the way he reads numbers: exactly, without performance, without apology. He's spent his whole life being told he's too direct, too literal, too much. Nika Sokolova is the first person who's never once asked him to be anything less.
He was hired to audit her family's books. He wasn't hired to fall for the woman signing his checks, uncover a murder no one else was willing to solve, or become the one thing standing between her and a war she never asked for.
Some debts get paid in money. Some get paid in blood. And some, Nika is only beginning to learn, get paid in exactly how much of yourself you're willing to risk for someone who finally sees you clearly.
