Lord of Wrath by Sasha Leone

He’s my best friend’s bodyguard.
Ruthless protector of Chicago’s most feared Bratva.
And my professional stalker.

Deep blue eyes with silver shards… watching me… always watching…
Valentin Constanov doesn’t take no for an answer. So, when I tell him to stop following me, it might as well be a direct challenge.
It’s his job to watch over the empire, after all. And I share a connection with his boss’s wife—not that I want anything to do with the Russian mafia or their dark and twisted lifestyle.
I’ve got my own problems to worry about.
But the hot-tempered, ill-mannered, tattooed-covered Romeo isn’t used to being rejected. That’s why, when I find myself in some serious trouble, I don’t expect to be saved.
If only he got the memo.
Turns out, I’m more than just a job to him. I’m an obsession. And he’s going to make sure I understand that—even if it takes all of his patience… and every last bit of my innocence.
