Debt of Blood

Natalya Petrova has spent twelve years chasing a ghost — the truth about who killed her father, a Volkov Bratva accountant executed for a crime she knows he didn't commit. She's out of money, out of options, and someone inside the organization has marked her for death. She walks into the Volga Room and petitions the Bratva for protection — straight into the den of the men who destroyed her family.

Alexei Morozov is Dimitri Volkov's most lethal weapon — the enforcer who eliminates threats, cleans up messes, and never hesitates. When Natalya Petrova says her name, he goes pale. He knows exactly who she is. He volunteers to protect her. Now she's living in his safe house, cataloguing his every silence with her father's eyes — and Alexei is learning that keeping her alive is easier than keeping his distance.

Natalya has spent her entire adult life failing to prove her father was innocent. Alexei is the first person who's ever helped her instead of shutting her down — but he's hiding something, and she can feel the weight of it. The killer hunting her is patient. Her questions are getting dangerous. And the one truth Alexei can't afford to tell her is the one she's been searching for her entire life.

He'll keep her alive. He'll keep her close. He won't keep his secrets forever.
