Danila — Roxie Rivera

Danny is dangerous. Not, like, drives a fast car dangerous or alcoholic gambler like my dad dangerous. He's mafia dangerous. Russian bratva. Vory v zakone. He belongs to Nikolai Kalasnikov's family, the most powerful mob syndicate in Houston. Months ago, we shared a secret, thrilling kiss before Danny disappeared with only a brief goodbye, sent away by his boss to handle family business. And then someone tried to kill me and my family. Now, my dad is missing. My stepmom is in jail. My younger siblings are in foster care. Loan sharks and Triad gangsters are threatening me, and I've never needed Danny more. But, when he finally comes back into town, he finds me half-naked and dancing on a stage for one his enemies. Suddenly, that dark, dangerous glare is on me, and—it leaves me quaking, my entire body trembling with a desperate need to be claimed and possessed by him. But Danny's protection comes with a high price. Because once you're part of the underworld, there's only one way out...
