Isla Sezin, a detective for the organized crime enforcement agency, sees her life turn for the worst when a shadow from her past resurges. Everything changes when a certain Romanian criminal crosses her path. Aleksander Belov, a seemingly ruthless criminal, stops before nothing to get what he wants. Money, fame, influence, he had it all. His morals now a memory of the past, he grants no mercy to those who dare cross him. That is until he reunites with Isla, the very cause of his demise. Will he reserve for her the same fate as all his enemies, or will she be the exception? ❦ "If you take one step closer, I'll shoot you," I warned, straightening my posture. "You're not going to shoot me, Isla." He raised an eyebrow, unaffected by my threat. I shifted the gun, firing centimeters away from his body. The bullet went through the wooden door next to him. "I wouldn't bet on that if I were you." I gritted out and took a step forward.
