DEBT
Twenty-one years ago, one forbidden love started a war.
Ruby Romanova, the daughter of Russia's most feared mafia Don, disappeared after fleeing with the son of the Italian family's greatest enemy. The underworld believed she died, taking the Romanov bloodline with her.
But She didn't. Before death finally caught up with her, Ruby hid her three-year-old daughter inside an orphanage and vanished forever.
Twenty-one years later, Jade knows nothing about mafia empires or the blood running through her veins. She only knows poverty, unpaid rent, and loving someone who could never love her back. When her roommate's betrayal leaves her sold to organ traffickers, Jade expects to die. Instead, the most feared man in the Russian underworld stops the operation. Don Lev Romanov recognizes the face of the granddaughter he never knew existed. But saving her doesn't mean loving her. To him, Jade is living proof of the daughter who destroyed his family and the Italian bloodline he has spent two decades trying to erase.
Trapped inside a palace that feels more like a prison, Jade is forced to inherit an empire she never wanted while an old mafia war begins burning hotter than ever. As enemies close in, buried truths emerge, and the woman she loves slips further from her reach, Jade must decide what matters more:
Revenge.
Family.
Or the only person she's ever loved.
