Viktor Romanov wasn’t a man who took prisoners. He took what he wanted, and in the world of power and crime, there was no room for weakness. At thirty-four, he had built an empire on fear, loyalty, and ruthless ambition. But the night he kidnapped Sofia, the daughter of a rival businessman, something in him shifted.

Sofia was nothing like the women he usually dealt with—powerful, untouchable, and used to the games of the rich. She was scared, confused, and now, she was his prisoner.

She had no idea what he wanted from her, and he hadn’t decided yet if he was going to break her or use her for leverage.

But as the miles stretched out behind them, Viktor realized one thing: Sofia wasn’t just another asset to control. Something about her unsettled him, a feeling he couldn’t ignore.
