*USA Today Bestselling author* Love is a weakness for a man like me… Two years ago my enemies murdered my wife. They took away the mother of my newborn son. That’s how I became the beast… A merciless, heartless, soulless creature. That’s why I made the deal with Ava: Take her to repay her father’s debt… I couldn’t resist. Not when I saw she feared me as much as she wanted me. I wanted the beauty, a woman nearly half my age. I wanted to own her and possess her. Then I wanted more. More than her obedience and submission. I wanted her body, heart, mind and soul. I never knew I was signing my death warrant when our paths collided. I never knew who she truly was: A Bratva princess who's supposed to be a ghost. Her dark secrets unearth old enemies who want her dead. I’m Vincent Giordano, underboss to the Giordano family . I should know better than to start a war. I should know better than to let love into my cold heart. This isn’t a fairytale. When she kisses me I won’t turn into a prince. I’ll still be the beast. Yet, I can’t let them take her. I just don’t know what it will cost me this time.
