Chapter 1 - Eyes Like a Warning

I didn't ask for a new life. I begged for silence.

Raven isn't my real name.
I gave it to myself when I escaped him.

Andrea was a brilliant neurosurgeon. Beautiful. Respected. Violent.
He owned me for three years-until I disappeared.

Now I work nights in a Manhattan hospital under a different name, a new face, and a past that's supposed to be dead.

But the Bratva gave me that identity. And someone from their world saw my photo.

Noah Ivanov.

He's cold. Untouchable. Obsessed.
And when our eyes meet, I know I haven't escaped anything.
I've only traded one kind of danger for another.

This isn't a love story.
This is the fire I was warned about.
And I walked straight into it.
