Once upon a time...
A dark King ruled New York.
I used to believe in fairy tales until one winter night, a rival mob set my world on fire. I'm Roza Ivanova, the young prized Mafia Princess of the Russian Solntsevskaya Bratva, the Pakhan's daughter.
My happily ever after never came.
It wasn't prince charming that came for me, but the Mad King himself. The brutal Italian's dark beauty is violent and wicked. This is my life sentence for my father's sins. I must atone for a debt claimed because he always collects. The monster claims I destroyed his reality, now he challenges my sanity. A dark love that blurs the line between love and obsession.
My outspoken mouth gets me in trouble, and the bruises he gives me have become too frequent on my fair flesh, leaving scars behind. The people around me look away as he sheds my innocence until one stare lingers.
Bodyguards are meant to be protectors, not lovers.
One beauty. Two beasts. Three lives. One love.
Welcome to New York's Underworld.
