    SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA (THE BRATVA EMPIRE)The morning crept in slowly, like an unwelcome truth.Sunlight slanted through the tall windows of Mikhail’s bedroom, dappling the dark mahogany floors with streaks of gold. The scent of oakwood, smoke, and something darker—his cologne—clung to the air like a memory.Donatella stirred beneath the heavy covers, groggy and aching.

Shirtless, only dark slacks hung low on his hips, a steaming cup of coffee in hand.
