She signed a contract to belong to a monster.
The man preparing her for him is far more dangerous.
And he's the one she can't stop wanting.
Margarita Fuentes is twenty-five, broke, exhausted, and drowning under the weight of her family's survival. Her mother is sick. Her sister deserves a future. When a contract lands in front of her worth more money than she's ever seen, the choice feels simple.
All she has to do is sign.
A powerful Russian Pakhan has a taste for beautiful women-and total control.
Before Margarita is delivered to him, she'll be trained. Reshaped. Prepared to become exactly what he wants.

The Pakhan's fixer.
His weapon.
His loyal dog.
Cold-eyed, disciplined, and terrifyingly competent.
He's also the man assigned to break her in.
