EXTRAIT "I know that strategist's look, but listen to me: stay away from that girl, or you'll have big problems. See the guy sitting to her right? That's her adoptive brother, Sergei Protasov. Before becoming her husband's associate and, more importantly, his bodyguard, he was a spetsnaz1 in the FSB2-brutal, a brawler, and highly skilled at neutralizing enemies. He has a bad reputation and tends to watch over his sister as if she were his own wife. So, you may be a valiant Marine, but you're no match for two men powerful enough to make you disappear without a trace if you dare get too close to Xenia. I'm not joking. I know. Then why do I get the feeling you don't care about my warning? Because you know how good I am at solving problems." WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING "I have to say that I really liked the book. Firstly, I had never really read a novel with a partly Russian universe. It was a rather interesting discovery! I also appreciated the author's writing.." - booksislandfr, Book Node "An impossible love, where we find a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, a mixture of gentleness and brutality, hope and despair.
