One minute I’m sent to negotiate with a mafia heir. The next, I realize he’s my ex’s brother—and I’m pregnant with his twins.
Drake Doyle should’ve been just another name on my file—an Irish-American billionaire tangled in blood and power.
The kind of man diplomats like me are trained to outsmart, not crave.
But when he appeared on that video call, that smirk made me forget every rule.
Because I know him. He’s my ex’s brother—the one I swore I’d never see again.
Now he demands a trade: his brother’s freedom for the Russian ambassador’s life. And I’m the one sent to face him.
Except
our late-night negotiations become something else: a burner phone for
confessions, video calls that blur into a dangerous fantasy.
And one reckless night when he finally claims me as his own.
He’s obsessive, impossible to resist. And somewhere between duty and desire, I lose myself.
But when two heartbeats flicker on the ultrasound, I stop being the negotiator—and become the woman who’d kill for her family.

My 5 STAR Review TITLED: Be Aware That it's HOT & Explicit
Natalia Debechenko is the Russian negotiator sent in last minute. She's been working for the Russian Embassy that's on American soil for 3 years. She's an American born Russian, which puts her in between a rock and a hard place ! Olga was Natalia's superior at the Embassy and boy was she tough !
Natalia is definitely attracted to "bad boys" by her own definition ! And here comes trouble:
Drake Doyle is the Irish-American Billionaire who she has to work with through the phone/video at the embassy. Dang, but he looks familiar to her and that scares her. He's trying to get his creep of a brother Liam back from the capture of the Russians. Liam is his father, Connor's golden boy, his favorite son ! Connor only see Drake as The Muscle. Natalia almost loses it when she realizes it's her ex, Liam that she's trying to negotiate about freeing. But she has a job to do and she's good at it. Well, until she isn't.
The phone turns into some very hot, phone sex until the real thing happens, often.
The Drake family weird hacker named Hunter is totally worth mentioning. He's highly skilled funny and totally loyal. So is James Lowe, the German man, who ALWAYS has Drake's back. Always had and always will ! There are also a couple more really good people on Drake's team and I wasn't sure everyone was going to make it out alive !
I adored Natalia's mother and kept wondering throughout, "what happens to her if Natalia runs?" She was very interesting woman with strengths that Natalia didn't see coming !
There is a Senator that is helping the Drake family as well. Also worth a mention.
I don't trust Liam for one hot second ! Has he changed any at al all or is he still charmingly trying his lies ? I think personally he's psycho but time will tell.
This story was emotional, had lots of depth and some MAJOR Twists towards the end.
The Epilogue was a welcome good relief after all of the story and I was glad that it ended that way !
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
