I broke the code—touched my best friend's sister. Broke her heart—left her behind with my baby. Broke myself—became the monster I swore I'd never be. Six months in Russian hell turned me into Shakal. The Jackal. The one who laughs while bones snap. The one who kills for the Bratva crest on his chest. My dying best friend made me swear: Protect Vanya. Blood oath sealed in his last breath. Now she owns my nights. And I own the secret she's hiding.

I woke up pregnant in a stranger's mansion. He says he's the father. I don't remember him at all. My reflection in the mirror is a stranger, too. The doctors call it temporary amnesia. The Bratva boss calls it a complication. I call it terrifying. My body responds to his touch even when my mind doesn't. But how do you trust a dangerous man who claims you belong to him? Something isn't adding up. Locked doors I'm not supposed to notice. Whispered conversations that stop when I enter a room. Guards watching me with suspicion, not protection.

Just scorching chemistry and skilled hands that made me forget my broken heart. By morning, he was gone. Good riddance. Time to rebuild my life. Until my brother calls, terrified and desperate. "I stole from the wrong people," he whispers.

The blizzard wasn't just snow—it was fate trapping me with Alessandro Diamante. The most dangerous man in Italy. Thirteen years my senior, with hands that knew exactly how to make me surrender. I came to his mountain fortress hunting evidence that he murdered my brother. I stayed because his touch became my darkest addiction.

They say Lance Knight bathes in blood money. That he's the devil who keeps my brother's empire running. The enforcer who can kill with just his bare hands. I should be terrified when he becomes my shadow. Instead, I'm burning for the monster assigned to protect me. (Ten years of forbidden fantasies are finally within reach.) Then the nightmares tear through me. His name rips from my throat in the dark. And suddenly he's there—all raw power and deadly grace.

I turned him down… he bought the entire ballet company. I still said no… he blew hundreds of thousands on a night out for everyone. I gave into my lust… and he got me pregnant. His name is Alexei Federov, and he is a mafia kingpin.

Not only is my boyfriend dead, but he left me with a sizable loan in my name to a mafia boss. When Dimitri Federov, a handsome, loaded Russian playboy, appears on my doorstep, I panic. He wants money to repay the debt. Money I don't have. The prick offers me a solution—pay with my body. I turn him down flat, but the indecent proposal remains in my thoughts, forever reminding me of what could have been…
