Overview

She and I, we are women in a man's world. My identity is my biggest secret. She carries hers under her heart. Together, we could be the perfect couple—as long as no emotions threaten our game of hide-and-seek.

The Orlov Bratva. Ruthless, infamous, and my legacy. Since I came from Russia to New York when I was sixteen, my father has been preparing me to take over. But as a woman, I can never officially take over as leader of the brotherhood. My clan brothers would rather kill me than accept my true identity.

That's why I created the perfect persona for myself: Aleksey, a chauvinistic asshole who never lets people get close enough to see behind the mask.

To finally become Pakhan, I need one last detail. A woman by my side. Marrying Flora Dushku will eliminate all doubts. She is perfect: from a respectable family, feminine, and desperately seeking a husband.

Because she, too, has a secret. And if the truth about either of us comes to light, our world will go up in flames.
