Lily Garcia has no idea her life is being rewritten in the shadows. To her, she’s just a quiet eighteen-year-old, sheltered by an overprotective father. To Mikhail—the cold, calculating mafia boss—she’s prey, his zayka, destined to be caught. With each hacked line, each secret uncovered, Mikhail draws closer, convinced their meeting is not madness but fate. What begins as obsession twists into a vow: Lily will be his, whether she chooses it or not. And as he whispers promises to a girl who doesn’t even know she’s being hunted, one truth becomes clear—rabbits don’t choose their hunters.
