I only remember my name. Anastasia.To claim my life as a killing machine, I had to destroy others, and it became my violent destiny.For seven long years, as the Bratva syndicate's chosen one, I have served my leaders, and now, they have given me a new target, a new assignmentI'm a silent predator underneath my hood. No one is aware I'm a woman until I come across him - Surge Romano, the emerald-eyed Italian Don of the ruling Family of New York. He's twice my age and the only non-blooded member of the rival mob.My duty collides with desire for the first time. I'm here to steal his life, but I have forgotten that I have a heart that beats. I'm not capable of mercy. If I show it, it will be a grave mistake. Too late, I see him and I... hesitate.Welcome to New York's Underworld.Loosely based on the legend of Anastasia.
