From bestselling author Oona Ryda comes a high-heat, over-the-top Bratva romance featuring an age-gap, virgin heroine, forced proximity, obsessive devotion, and a dangerous antihero.

Leonid Belov knows he's a sociopath. Cold, surgical, and emotionally void, he is the Bratva's silent assassin. He feels no remorse, no guilt, no shame... and certainly no love -- not for anyone or anything.

When he finds Anya -- thin, exhausted, and hiding in a locked bedroom closet, he's thrown into unfamiliar territory. She's not a criminal. She's not an enemy. She flinches when he speaks and apologizes for existing.

Leonid goes completely off script. He doesn't kill her.

With Leo, Anya experiences kindness, security, and intimacy for the first time in her life. She falls hard, believing someone finally cares about her.

But Leo knows she deserves better than a violent, bloodstained killer, and makes a devastating choice that shatters her heart and sends her running.

This standalone novella has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. 18+ only.
