The Ballerina and the Beast: Houston Nights Series (Passport Required)

Passport Required: A Houston Nights Novel

Serena Andra sacrificed everything for the stage. Discipline. Devotion. Pain. She thought ballet had saved her from the shadows of her past.

She was wrong.

Once trained to seduce powerful men for the Russian government, Serena believed she'd escaped the life of secrets and manipulation. But when a single mistake puts her career and her freedom at risk, the Kremlin reminds her of a truth she can't outrun:

They own her.

Her new assignment is simple. Dangerous. Unforgivable. Seduce Roman Usmanov the most untouchable oligarch in Russia and deliver the secrets that could bring him to his knees. Roman is ruthless. Brilliant. Impossible to read. And far more dangerous than the government that sent her. The closer Serena gets, the more the lines blur between performance and desire, loyalty, and betrayal.

Because Roman isn't the only one with secrets. And this time, Serena isn't sure who is hunting whom. In a world where power is currency and trust is lethal, Serena must decide: protect her career, protect her heart... or burn the entire empire down.
