I've never met a woman like her.

Damaged, just like me, but with a clever mind that she knows is a dangerous weapon, and curves for days.

Every second I spend with her, it becomes less about business, less about the darkness I'm trying to leave behind, and more her.

​About us, against the world. 

We're going to rise above the shadows the Bratva have cast on us.

​I'm in deep to the Mafia. My father was the one who made the deal, and when I inherited his club, I also inherited his troubles. 

Ivan wants to save me, or so he says. More like he wants me to be his slave for a year. After the one-night stand I had with him, though, would that be so bad? With his impossibly hard body, and the way he always makes me scream... 

But he's still a monster. He's a criminal, and something so much worse. 

And yet I can't stop the tingling in my body every time I think of how he touched me, and those dark but delicious words rolling off his tongue, tinged with his Russian accent. 

He knows what I'll say, even before I do. "I'll take your offer."

​There was one rule for this job. No witnesses.

Then I saw her. She wasn't supposed to be there, and I can only imagine what those dirtbags had been planning for her with her gorgeous blonde hair and her deadly curves. So I did the one thing I knew I shouldn't: I killed every a**hole in that room and I took her as my prize.

I don't save people's lives. I'm a killer, a hired hitman for the Russian mob. But I tell her to trust me, and I mean it. I'm not going to let anyone take her away from me. I'd sworn off women long ago, but I can't resist her long legs and wicked mind, and every time I tell myself I'm being foolish, she gets down on her knees and begs me not to leave her.

I'd rather die than lose her and the baby I know she'll give me.

​Delaney Underwood is hot as hell, with a killer body, wicked smile, and a spoiled rotten demeanor.

It pisses me off. I've struggled to survive, and I have the scars to prove it. Delaney’s going to make me a wealthy man, once her parents pay to get their precious angel back.

But every time I look at those sassy lips, I wanna put them to good use. Delaney has gotten under my skin and she knows it. Even before I took her hostage, she'd somehow managed to work her way into my blood, and my heart hammers harder in my chest every time she stares daggers in my direction.

She's craving someone like me in her life, whether she knows it or not, and with every bratty outburst, a part of me calls out to discipline her. She needs to be taught a lesson.

And I need her, all to myself. I promised to ransom her off, but once I have a taste of her sweet curves, I'm keeping her to myself.

She’s the hitman’s hostage and she’ll learn to love it.

​She was the girl that got away. Now she thinks I murdered her dad.

Cherry LaBeau. More like Cherry Bomb, the way she walked back into my life, accusing me of killing her father.

She's a fiery mystery from my past, and this time, I'm not going to let her get away.

But first, I have to prove to her that we're lookin' for the same person. That whoever killed her dad has been screwing with my club and the people I care about most. So I'm going to find the scumbag who hurt my Cherry, and my club, and I'm going to make them pay.

Even if I have to turn back to my former hitman ways...
