He gave me one perfect night. I gave him a secret I never planned to share. One reckless decision. One night with a stranger who made me feel alive for the first time in years. I didn't know Ignat Basov was the pakhan of Chicago's Bratva—a ruthless king ruling the Russian underworld from his penthouse fortress. Three months later, I'm pregnant. My plan: keep the baby, raise it alone, never look back. His plan: take what's his. Ignat's men find me leaving a prenatal appointment. Within twenty-four hours, I'm locked in his penthouse with an ultimatum: I'm not leaving until after the birth. And by then, I'll be wearing his ring. I'm a corporate attorney. I know exactly what he is—a criminal, a killer, a man built for violence. I should hate him. But the cold stranger from the gala is gone. In his place is a man who's terrifyingly possessive, unexpectedly tender, and determined to claim both me and our son. When a rival discovers I'm carrying Ignat's heir, I become a target. And the ruthless pakhan will burn Chicago to ash before he lets anyone take his family. He's a monster who kills without mercy. I'm the only woman who makes him human.
