Matvei Ivanov is everything his reputation perceives.

Arrogant. Untouchable. Deadly.
He is a man who knows what he wants, and for some unfathomable reason, he wants me.
But I am not a free woman. I’m on the run, and have as many secrets as the domineeringly mysterious stranger, though you’d never guess that when I toss caution to the wind for a deal too good to be true.
I refuse to be bought… but being wholly consumed by someone convinced I deserve better doesn’t come with a price tag.
It only turns costly when I learn more than my heart is on the line.
