Before they kill—or fall for—each other, a mob boss and a mercenary must survive brutal fights to the death, in the fourth book of this spicy mafia romance.
Dimitri Volkov, the notorious Bratva Butcher, has more kills under his belt than he can even remember. But when an earth-shattering betrayal lands him in the hands of a sadistic billionaire, he finds himself imprisoned on a remote island. Forced to compete in a series of gladiator-style games, he has no choice but to fight against others to survive—but it's not just his own life he needs to worry about.
His partner in the games, Autumn DeValos, is as bloodthirsty as they come. A skilled assassin famously known as the Crimson Death, she was caught while attempting her own hit on the Volkovs. Now teamed up with Dimitri, she'll have to form an unsteady truce with her mortal enemy. But as the two battle side-by-side, she begins to see another side to the ruthless Pakhan that ignites a passion unlike anything she's felt before.
Meanwhile, Dimitri's own conflicting feelings begin to complicate an already dire situation. He can't deny the electricity that travels down his spine whenever he looks at Autumn. She stirs his heart in a way he thought impossible after his wife was killed . . . and he despises her for it.
Caught between debilitating grief and scorching desire, Dimitri must decide if he's ready to open up again—or if his emotional walls are too sturdy to crumble. Because the trials are starting to look like outright slaughter, and if he takes too long, danger and death may be the only thing he and Autumn ever really share.
