The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss—
and I’m stuck in a house with him…
Until one of us cracks.

I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth.
But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive.
So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control.

Not that he cares.
As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom.
And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either.

Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal.
Live in my mansion…
Care for my baby…
Or suffer the consequences.

But he’s not the only one with an agenda.
Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out.
He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past.

The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get.
Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks.
Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner.

Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

"I just don't understand what we're going back to," Ashley says for the third time.

We haven't even made it through security at the airport, and she is already driving me insane. It's not that I don't love her—I do—but I can't handle all of the questions. Not now. Not when I'm barely holding myself together.

"We're going back to our lives, Ash. We can't stay here in hiding forever."

What life is that, though?My new life as a homeless, single mother drowning below the poverty line?

Now that Timofey has removed himself from the picture, the reality of my situation is sinking in. I'm no longer his nanny, which means that huge paycheck is no longer going to be hitting my account every two weeks. I barely survived off the CPS income, and aside from now having a baby to care for, I'm not even sure I still have my job with them. I have enough to skate through the next few months, but nowhere near enough to support a newborn when the time comes.
