My father didn't just gamble away his money. He gambled away his life. And when he couldn't pay, he paid with me.

VIKTOR: They call me the Wolf of the Bratva. Cold. Ruthless. A man who collects what is owed, down to the last drop of blood. Richard Lane owed me five million dollars. He didn't have it. So I took his daughter instead. Sienna was supposed to be a transaction. A signature on a marriage contract to secure my territory. I locked her in my glass house on the mountain, intending to ignore her until she served her purpose. But she isn't just a terrified girl. She is a fire in the snow. An artist who sees the darkness in my soul and draws it. I bought her to own her. Now, I'll burn the world down to keep her.

SIENNA: One signature. That's all it took to turn me from a starving artist into the property of a mob boss. Viktor Volkov is a monster. He kidnapped me, forced a diamond ring onto my finger, and dragged me into the middle of a blizzard. He says he's protecting me. He says I'm safe in his cage. But I see the way he looks at me. Like a predator looking at prey. Like a starving man looking at a feast. I should hate him. I should run. But when the enemies from his past come hunting, and the snow buries us alive, I realize the terrifying truth: The monster in my bed is the only thing standing between me and death.

The debt is paid. The contract is signed. But the ransom? The ransom is my heart.
