Mag-log inHer father promised me life on the legal side if I saved his only daughter. I was her last hope. Something about this rich, spoiled princess captured me from the moment I laid my eyes on her. This green-eyed beauty made me want things I never had. She was untouchable. If I were decent, I’d keep my distance. But God knew I was the worst kind of sinner. She shouldn’t have wanted my touch. Now she was mine. When a Russian rival mafia came for her seeking revenge and old, forgotten secrets are revealed, her life became marked. Would she stay in my world or go back to her carefree, privileged life?

San Francisco in all its glory spread out in front of me. I owned a majority of it, among businesses I had all over the world. Although most of it wasn’t obtained through legal means.I have been working for months, bribing senators, congressmen, governors, state attorneys, judges, anyone with power within the government, all in the attempt to legalize all of it. Nobody was going to stop me. I was ready for anyone and anything. If someone got in my way, I’d crush them. I might be going legit but I still had my ways to make things happen. We had gone through too much and come too far to stop now. This was what I had always wanted for Nikolai and Sergei, my brothers in every sense of the word except blood. When we left that Russian orphanage, it was to get us a better life.I had a staff of lawyers working through all my businesses to
“Seriously, all summer and finally you dance with us,” I told Brian. Surprisingly, he was a very good dancer too. He wasn’t just swaying on the floor, he actually followed dance steps. And I would know, I danced professionally till I was ten-years-old.“It’s the last dancing night on the agenda for the next three days,” he replied, chuckling, and twirled me into a circle. “Couldn’t pass on the chance.”His hand came around my waist and I burst out laughing. “Brian, are you flirting?”Amusement sparkled in his eyes. “Is it working?”“Maybe.” I playfully hit him on the arm and shifted my eyes to check on Olivia and Scarlett. They danced together and would keep on going until early morning hours. I was getting tired. While they slept in this morning, I woke up with the sunrise and went for a five mile run.“Will you dance with Olivia next?” I asked him, changing the subject from our flirtatiousness.He followed my gaze. “She seems to like dancing with Scarlett.”“Yeah, but she kind of li
As we walked to the bar, the crowd dispersed for us, like we were some important celebrities. It almost made me chuckle out loud. We were treated to another round of free drinks. I opted for a glass bottle of beer while Olivia and Scarlett went for the shots. These Russian men were really something, staring at us in fascination. It looked like we were the only three foreigners in this place but they acted like we were the only Americans they’d ever seen.“Thank you,” I smiled sweetly to them.We had a pact never to leave with men when out together. If they knew that, they’d probably give up being so catering and putting us ahead of everyone else when ordering drinks. I debated whether we should tell them they stand no chance with us. Shrugging my shoulder, I decided against it and we headed back to the dance floor.“Anytime, baby,” one of the men replied.I cringed hearing that endearment. I hated being called baby. My dad was the only one that called me that and got away with it. But
PrologueAnastasiaOlivia, Scarlett, and I swayed to the music in the Russian Orchid, laughing and carefree. This nightclub in Moscow was a must, according to tips Scarlett received. It has been the best summer ever; it would stay with us forever. I couldn’t remember the last time all three of us felt so happy and relaxed. We were having the time of our lives. Our last hurrah before life would take us all away and back to reality. There was a young Russian singer on the stage singing, and even though we couldn’t understand a single word, the beat drove our bodies as we danced.“One more round,” Scarlett yelled, slightly drunk, a big smile on her face. She just couldn’t wait for her mysterious man to show up. Olivia and I were looking forward to meeting the guy who enthralled her so.Scarlett’s sparkling silver dress offset her long, dark hair, which made her seem more petite than she really was. A look that would knock the socks off her lover boy tonight. She was the cuddle bug of our
