The Pakhan's Prisoner
Three years ago, Helena made one fatal mistake-she walked into the wrong room and witnessed something she was never meant to see. Forced to abandon her life and disappear without a trace, she runs as far as she can, hiding in the last place anyone would expect: Russia, the ruthless heart of the Bratva.
Viktor is not just powerful-he is the Pakhan, the feared head of the Russian mafia, a man who controls empires and breaks anyone who stands in his way. Cold, calculating, and dangerously irresistible, Viktor is used to loyalty, obedience, and possession. What he is not used to is Helena-the mysterious foreign woman who awakens an obsession he cannot explain... or resist.
Their attraction burns hot, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. But when Helena disappears, believing escape is her only chance at freedom, Viktor does what no one survives-he hunts. Because the Pakhan does not lose what belongs to him.
When he finally finds her, Viktor discovers Helena is hiding a secret powerful enough to destroy everything he has built. Now she is no longer a stranger passing through his world-she is his prisoner, caught between fear, desire, and a man who may be her greatest danger... or her only salvation.
