I was raised as the Las Vegas Bratva printsessa, but I fought that. I wanted to be my own woman, make my own way.

After joining the military and becoming an elite secret soldier, I thought my life was perfect, until it all came crashing down on me in a muddy alley. It left me shattered to pieces.

My heart frozen to everyone, even my family. I secluded myself from them all.

To protect them and to protect myself. Moving on with my life, I’ve found a way to make the broken pieces fit together.

A way to feel pain and turn it into desire, even need. It enables me to permit a man to touch me finally without feeling revulsion.

A man that wants to fix me and thaw my heart, but I’m scared. I jeopardized everything when I came out of the shadows to protect two women important to my brother and best friend.

Not only does my family now know why I’m broken, but my enemy has found me. Leif is willing to put me back together one lash at a time.

No matter how long it takes but am I willing to get back into the battle and finally win this war. Or will my heart always be frozen?Award-winning author E.
