She’s my employee.
My daughter’s favorite person.
And the one woman I should never touch.
I’m a Bratva pakhan with blood on my hands.
A widowed father ruling through fear and loyalty.
Love was buried with my wife.
Until she walks into my club—
smart mouth, steady hands, eyes that don’t flinch.
She tells me no.
She challenges my power.
She makes my home feel alive again.
It was supposed to be control.
One mistake. One night.
Now the Feds are watching.
My enemies are circling.
And she’s hiding something that could destroy me.
Don’t worry, solnyshko.
Daddy will protect what’s his… no matter the cost.
