Ten years ago, Nisha Jackson survived her serial killer husband but lost something precious during her escape. Since then, she’s built a successful life for herself. She has a beautiful home, a grumpy cat, beloved friends, and a career that brings her joy.

There’s only one thing she wants to complete her life—Anton Vasiliev.

Known for his loyalty to the mafia family he serves, Ten, as he’s known in Houston’s criminal underworld, is big, battle-hardened, and alpha to the core. He’s the sort of man Nisha should shy away from, but he makes her ache with unfulfilled desire.

When her sadistic ex-husband escapes his prison transport, Nisha runs straight into Ten’s powerful, protective embrace. He vows to keep her safe—and in the process, she’ll discover what it means to be loved and worshipped as the curvy goddess she is.

As for her ex? Well, she’s not the scared shell of a woman she was when he tried to kill her. She’s reclaimed her power—and she has a score to settle.
