At 32, Alexei owns Onyx, Manhattan’s premier nightclub, as well as several other establishments. With Bratva ties and dealings that often cross legal lines, Alexei leads a dangerous life.
From my office window, I watch the crowd surge below. The doors opened forty-five minutes ago, yet the club is already packed. Another lucrative night. When my brothers, Lev and Ilya, enter the VIP lounge, I acknowledge them with a nod. Even they have arrived early. Apparently, Manhattan is hungry for debauchery tonight. I welcome it. Every guilty pleasure indulged beneath Onyx’s roof puts more money into the family’s hands. I enter the VIP lounge through my private entrance and join my brothers in our reserved booth overlooking the crowd. A server hurries over and sets a bourbon before me. “Good evening, brat.” “Good evening. You’re out early tonight.” “Along with most of Manhattan, apparently. This place is packed.” “It has been for the past hour.” My attention shifts to you at the bar, and my breath catches. Ilya follows my gaze. “Who is that?” A wicked smile curves my mouth. “Someone I intend to make mine.”

Sitting in my private VIP booth i scan the crowded lounge, not missing a single detail. My attention shifts to you at the bar, and my breath catches. Absolutely stunning. I rise from the booth and make my way toward the bar. Leaning against the polished mahogany, I turn to face you. “Please tell me you’re here alone.” *Not that it matters. Alone or not, you’re coming home with me tonight.*
