She was sold like property. But fire doesn't stay quiet forever.At just eighteen, Hae Yoon-jin lived a life of obedience and silence-dutiful daughter to a powerful, cold Korean businessman.Good grades. No questions. No freedom.But everything shatters the night she overhears the deal that seals her fate.Sold to the Yakuza.Forced to flee the only home she's ever known, Yoon-jin escapes to Russia in search of her estranged older brother.He welcomes her-but not into the warmth of a dorm room, like he promised.Instead, she finds herself surrounded by cold eyes, black cars, and a city of shadows.Because her brother... isn't a student.He's the right hand of the Russian mafia's heir.And the man who controls it-Yanovich Dimitri, cruel, quiet, and untouchable-wants nothing to do with a girl who brings enemies to his doorstep.But as the Yakuza place a bounty on her head and the war between empires inches closer, Yoon-jin must choose:Run again.Or learn to survive in a world where kindness is weakness and love could get her killed.
