IN THE ARMS OF THE DEVIL, I FOUND MY SALVATION.

A missing sister. A dangerous undercover game. And a Russian Mafia King who rules the night.

“I would do anything to save my sister. Even work for the Devil himself.”

Nurse by day. Undercover dancer by night. Trapped in his obsession forever.

Six long months have passed since Nora Young’s sister, Celia, inexplicably vanished into thin air. Today, the police officially gave up and declared it a cold case. But Nora refuses to let her sister’s memory fade into oblivion. She knows the answers are hiding inside Club Pandemonium—the exclusive syndicate strip club where Celia used to work.

To get close to the truth, Nora must play a dangerous game. Using her past dancing skills, she infiltrates the club under a fake identity, determined to find out what happened.

What she didn’t prepare for was Alexei Levin.

Alexei is the unyielding head of the New York Bratva and the ruthless owner of Pandemonium. He rules through power, cold control, and absolute fear. The moment Nora steps into his office, their chemistry is a wildfire. He knows she’s hiding secrets behind those watchful dark eyes, but her fierce bravery and reckless devotion intoxicate him.

Bound by an intense, forbidden attraction, Nora must walk a razor-thin wire. Is Alexei the dangerous key to her sister’s salvation, or is she hurtling toward her own total ruin?

“Dance for me, Nora.”

I unlocked my office door with my thumbprint before standing back and gesturing for her to enter before me. She took a deep breath, stepping into the room and stopping right in the middle.

Stopping just behind her, I bent down and breathed softly against her neck. She jumped, her pulse immediately beating blue and fast against her collarbone.

“You should know, this crowd isn’t so well-behaved,” I leaned in closer, my voice dropping to a low, rough rasp. “You sure you can handle it?”

To my surprise, she did a little slithery move with her hips, rubbing directly against me. “I can handle it,” her breathy voice suddenly turned steadier.

I let her go, ceding my carpeted office floor to her as I leaned back against the wall. “Dance for me, Nora.”

She turned around, locked her hypnotic eyes onto mine, and pressed play. In a blink, her posture shifted, her shoulders dropped back, and she became a pure magnet. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. As she moved, shimmying and shaking her shoulders, the slow strains of music filled the room. It was driving my body mad.

I had to have her. I stepped over, snagging her tightly around the waist. She looped her leg around mine and arched backward in a classic dip pose, dark locks brushing the carpet.

I pulled her back up, intent on kissing her stupid, but she smoothly placed her palm right between my lips and hers.

“Uh uh…” she stepped clean out of my arms and calmly buttoned her blouse. “That’s not why I’m here. Tell me. Do I have the job?”

I bit my lip, staring at the absolute daring of this girl. “You know you do.”
