Ruthless. Kings of the Underworld, #0

He's the king of the Georgia real estate empire. A billionaire. A monster in disguise. She was never supposed to matter. But now, she's the only thing that does. On paper, Yerik is a respected businessman-untouchable, untarnished, and revered. But behind the polished suits and billion-dollar deals lies a brutal truth: Yerik is the ruthless leader of the Russian mafia in the United States. A man forged by violence.
Governed by the code of the thieves-in-law. Feared by everyone-including his enemies. When his cousin begs him to rescue a kidnapped girl, Yerik agrees. It's supposed to be a favor. A task. Nothing more. Until he sees her. Talassa was meant to be a mission. Not an obsession. But once Yerik lays eyes on her, he knows one thing: she's his. To protect. To claim. To keep-whether she likes it or not.
