Y/N thought transferring from the French branch of the world’s most luxurious casino to Russia would only mean a new job, a new city, and a better salary. She was wrong. Working as a cook in the employee kitchen, Y/N keeps her head down and focuses on one thing: paying off the debt her late father left behind. She doesn’t care about the wealthy guests, the private rooms, or the powerful people who walk through the casino doors.

A ruthless crime boss who speaks Russian around her, knowing she doesn’t understand a word, often teasing her with hidden compliments and flirtatious remarks. She hates him for taking away her freedom. He insists he’s the only reason she’s still alive. But as enemies close in and secrets begin to unravel, Y/N starts seeing the person behind the monster.
