"“You really thought a disguise would fool me, Addie?”
Adeline froze.
For weeks, she had carefully hidden her identity from everyone around her.
Everyone except him.
“I don't know what you're talking about.”
Her trainer studied her with unsettling calm.
“You can fool the others,” he replied. “But you can't fool me.”
Adeline forced herself to meet his gaze.
“Then what are you going to do?”
A faint smile appeared on his face.
“First, I'm going to find out why you came here.”
--
Adeline lost five years of her life behind bars for something she didn't do.
Then the truth finally surfaced.
Corey—the boyfriend she once trusted—was responsible for what happened to her parents. He wanted control of their investments, and Adeline became the perfect person to blame.
Five years.
Her family.
Her future.
Corey had taken almost everything from her.
Now Adeline wants justice, but she knows confronting a powerful man without preparation would only put her at another disadvantage.
So she travels to Russia with a dangerous plan.
Disguised as a man, Adeline joins the Bratva, determined to gain the skills, influence, and connections she needs to expose Corey and reclaim everything he stole from her.
There is only one person standing between her and that goal.
Her trainer.
Feared even among the people surrounding him, he is calculating, unpredictable, and nearly impossible to deceive.
From their first meeting, he knows Adeline is hiding something.
Soon, he discovers the first secret.
She isn't the man she claims to be.
But instead of exposing her, he keeps the truth to himself.
Why?
Adeline doesn't trust him enough to ask.
As her training continues, their constant clashes turn into a dangerous battle of secrets and control. He wants to uncover the real reason she came to Russia. Adeline is determined to keep her past hidden until she is strong enough to face Corey again.
But her trainer has secrets of his own.
And the closer Adeline gets to the truth, the more she begins to suspect that their meeting was never an accident.
She came to Russia seeking justice.
She found a man who could either help her reclaim her life—
or uncover every secret she came there to hide."
