He saved me from a kidnapping.
Promised protection I never asked for.
And became more dangerous than my enemies.

Viktor Kovalev isn't a hero.
He's the kind of man even the Bratva fears.
And he just started a war over me.

I was supposed to marry a monster.
A forced Bratva alliance my own father arranged.
I said no.
They dragged me into a car anyway.

Then Viktor showed up with a gun and a death wish,
And everything changed.

He locked me in a safehouse.
Called me Valkyrie.

And looked at me like I was already his.
I told him I'd never be his.

He said, "Then fight me."

So I did — until fighting turned into something
neither of us could walk away from.

Now I'm carrying a secret that will change everything.

His enemies want me as a bride.
My father wants me as a bargaining chip.
But Viktor?

When he finds out what I'm hiding, he won't just protect me.
He'll end bloodlines to keep ours safe.
