Will he serve her needs? Will she risk his future? Will the Russian mafia kill them both?



My Review

What would you do if the affair you had resulted in the death of your husband and son?
You would seek revenge.

And this is exactly what Gabi did. After getting involved with a mysterious Russian man – who it turns to out, is part of the Russian Mafia and he didn’t take too kindly to sharing her with her husband. After getting swept up in alcoholism after their death she finds a new purpose and determination to seek revenge on him. She hires Guy to train her and he soon becomes her lover.

This was such a great book, and I loved the twists and turns that happened. This is the first book by the  Ms Arama that I have read and it will certainly not be my last.
