Overview

He saw a murder. Now, he belongs to the monster who committed it.

Julian Thorne is an artist, not a fighter. His life is a quiet struggle of cheap charcoal and sacrificed dreams, all to support his brother’s future. But a single wrong turn in a forgotten alley shatters his world. He witnesses a brutal execution at the hands of Aleksandr "Sasha" Volkov—the ruthless, cold-eyed Don of the Russian Bratva.

Instead of a bullet, Julian is given a chilling ultimatum: his life and his family's safety in exchange for his silence… and his freedom.

Dragged into a gilded cage high above the New York skyline, Julian becomes Aleksandr's beautiful, captive secret. He fights against the suffocating control of a man who sees him as a precious acquisition, a defiant songbird to be owned. But as the lines between captor and protector blur, Julian's body betrays him with an unwilling, dangerous attraction to the monster in the tailored suit.

Aleksandr is a man who takes what he wants, and he wants the one thing he can't control: Julian’s soul. But a far more sinister game is at play, orchestrated by a ghost from the Volkovs' past. As secrets unravel, Julian realizes his meeting with the Don was no accident. He was the bait in a trap designed to topple an empire.

Caught between the man he is starting to desire and the devil who set the stage, Julian must learn the rules of this deadly game before he becomes the ultimate sacrifice.
