As Ilya follows her trail to the other side of the United States, he begins to uncover a side of Katia he never expected. She's not the naïve, obedient girl he had
believed but a strong, intelligent woman determined to escape a life of control and fear. With each day they spend together, Ilya is drawn deeper into her world, and the lines between duty and desire begin to blur.
Despite their differences - his dark past and her desire for freedom - an undeniable bond forms between them. But as Ilya gets closer to returning Katia, he finds himself torn between his loyalty to his word and the growing love he feels for Katia.
Ilya must decide if he's willing to betray everything he knows, including the life he's built, to protect the woman who has stolen his heart.
In this dangerous game of power, love and betrayal, Ilya must choose between duty to the mafia and a chance at a life with the woman he thought he can never have.
