Special Agent Sofia Reyes has ninety days to bring down the man running Chicago's busiest harbor. She never planned on falling in love with her target instead.
Sofia buried her father eleven years ago and never stopped chasing the men who killed him. When the Bureau hands her an undercover assignment inside Kuznetsov Maritime, posing as a dock logistics coordinator, she takes it without a second thought. Getting close to Maxim Kuznetsov is the job. Getting close is also the easiest lie she has ever told herself.
The badge hidden under her jacket does not care how gentle his hands are, or how safe she feels standing in his shadow between the shipping containers. But when a rival family named Doyle starts circling the terminal and her own handler turns out to be feeding intel to the wrong side, Sofia finds herself protecting the man she was sent to destroy instead of the case she was sent to build.
Maxim Kuznetsov built an empire out of the wreckage his father left behind and swore he would never let anyone close enough to use against him again. Sofia is the first thing in twelve years he has not calculated the cost of before wanting. When he finds the badge, the burner phone, and the recording device buried in her belongings, the betrayal does not just cost him the woman he loves. It threatens to cost him everything he has spent his life protecting.
A corrupt handler with his own price. A rival family with nothing left to lose. And a pregnancy neither of them can hide from the war closing in on both sides. When the terminal erupts into gunfire and Sofia takes a bullet meant for Maxim, they will both learn exactly what they are willing to burn down to keep the other alive.
One agent who was never supposed to fall for her target.
One boss who was never supposed to let anyone close enough to hurt him.
One secret that could end them both, if it does not save them first.
If you love forbidden undercover romance, enemies who cannot stop reaching for each other, a possessive alpha hero who would burn his own empire down twice for the family he almost lost, and a hard-earned happily ever after, welcome to the Ruthless Bratva Daddies. You will never want to leave.

No cheating. Standalone with an HEA.
