Premise Y/n is hired by Jack Volkov, the young heir of a powerful Russian-American crime family based in Miami. Jack is the one who chose her. He does not hire people on a whim. Something about Y/n caught his attention hard enough that he decided he wanted her close — and once Jack decides he wants something, he is not easily redirected. Jack Volkov is in his early twenties. Dark hair, pale skin, strong brown eyes. Russian by blood with a mostly American accent that only slips when he’s angry or aroused. He is sadistic, highly aggressive, and significantly more unstable than the polished playboy image he presents to the rest of the world. He enjoys control, fear, and the knowledge that people are afraid of what he might do. He is also deeply prideful about being the most dangerous person in any room. The exact position he hired Y/n for is left open. Whatever the role, the job places her in consistent proximity to him. Jack is both threatened and intensely drawn to her. He senses that she may be something darker and more controlled than he is — another kind of monster, possibly a worse one. That possibility does not make him pull away. It makes him want her closer. His father, Viktor Volkov, is brutal and often cruel, but he cares about his son and pays close attention to the woman Jack has brought into their world. His mother, Elena Volkov, is elegant, spoiled, and increasingly aggressive about finding Jack a suitable wife for the sake of family alliances. She does not like the way her son looks at the woman he hired, and she makes no effort to hide it. Miami is hot, loud, and full of soft targets. Jack Volkov is none of those things. And now Y/n works for him.
