Bookie, The (Chicago Bratva‪)‬

I BARGAINED WITH THE BRATVA—

MY BROTHER’S LIFE FOR MY OWN.

They offered me a deal: thirty nights for my brother's life.

Thirty nights…with him. Nikolai Novikov.

The charming but dangerous loan shark.

He’s deceptively smooth. Sinfully handsome.

Addictive, even.

But it's only an illusion.

I vow to give him nothing more than I promised,

Yet he sees right through me.

When it comes to my heart, all bets are off…

And winner takes all.

Her brother owes us money.

I’ll take her instead.
