I BARGAINED WITH THE BRATVA--
MY BROTHER'S LIFE FOR MY OWN.
They offered me a deal: thirty nights for my brother's life.
Thirty nights...with him. Nikolai Novikov.
The charming but dangerous loanshark.
He's deceptively smooth. Sinfully handsome.
Addictive, even.
But it's only an illusion.
I vow to give him nothing more than I promised,
Yet he sees right through me.
When it comes to my heart, all bets are off...
And winner takes all.
