Vladimir is a man on a mission. Tasked with securing control of the powerful Bratva organization overseeing the Eastern Seaboard, he must outmaneuver a slew of rival families eager to destroy each other for the coveted position. With stakes this high, alliances shift, and danger lurks around every corner.

But Vladimir has a plan.

His resolve is strengthened when he meets Anya Stepanov, the mesmerizing prima ballerina and daughter of the notorious Bratva Kingmaker—the man who holds the power to decide who will reign over the territories. After the sudden death of the Kingmaker’s son, an heir must be chosen, and that heir will not only inherit control of the empire but will also claim Anya as his wife.

For Vladimir, the battle for power becomes personal. He has no intention of letting anyone else take the throne or the woman destined to stand by his side. But with enemies closing in from all sides, Vladimir must prove his worth, fight for his survival, and secure his vindication.
