He was the monster in the dark. Now, he's the only thing keeping me alive.

JOY: I thought my brother sent me to the cabin to keep me safe. I was wrong. He sent me here to fatten the lamb before the slaughter.

I am not a sister anymore. I am currency. A peace offering sold to a rival Don to end a turf war. And my deliveryman? Aleksandr Romanov. The "Cleaner." He is six-foot-four of scarred muscle and ice-cold violence. He doesn't speak. He doesn't feel. He just obeys orders.

We are trapped in a blizzard, miles from civilization. The heat between us is the only thing warmer than the fire, but I know better than to trust the man holding the gun. Until the call comes. The order to hand me over. And for the first time in his life, the wolf refuses to bite.

ALEKS: I have followed orders for twenty years. I have buried bodies, dissolved problems, and erased mistakes. I have no soul left to save. Joy Walker was just a package. Fragile. Expensive. Not mine.

But when the snow traps us together, the lines begin to blur. She stitches my wounds. She paints my scars. She looks at me not with fear, but with a fire that melts the ice around my chest. My Boss -- her own brother -- wants to sell her to a sadist. He expects me to do my job. He expects the obedient dog.

He is about to find out what happens when the dog breaks the chain. I will burn the world down before I let them touch her.

THE BRATVA'S BARGAIN is a high-octane, pulse-pounding romantic suspense thriller about a scarred hitman and the artist who saves his soul. If you like alpha protectors, snowed-in cabins, and "touch her and die" energy, you will devour this book.
