On a freezing winter night, bruised and bleeding after another violent fight with their possessive boyfriend, a young man stumbles through the snow expecting nothing more than another lonely night. Instead, he crosses paths with Sergei Ji-Hoon Petrov—the feared head of the Petrov mafia syndicate, a man whispered about in fear throughout the city. Cold, powerful, and dangerously unreadable, Sergei should have walked away. But he doesn’t. Drawn together by violence, secrets, and the quiet understanding of broken people, the two become entangled in a world of obsession, power, and protection where trust is dangerous, love is unfamiliar, and survival comes at a cost.
