Description

Annika Volkov has grown up as a mafia princess, convinced that family expectations have already determined her future. Yet she chooses to pursue the person she desires, a decision she comes to recognize as a terrible mistake. Creighton King is an alluring but dangerous man, embodying the risk at the heart of her choice. God of Pain presents a dark romantic conflict between a seemingly fixed fate and the consequences of acting on desire, while keeping the exact nature of Annika’s pursuit and its fallout central to the story.
