A Cold Wind

Aidan and Liam step in when a Russian oligarch's life is threatened

Slava Vishinev thought he had it all — a successful business empire, a loving wife, and two wonderful children. But when a moment of indiscretion leads to his arrest in Moscow, Slava's world crumbles. Forced to sell his company and shunned by friends and family, he flees to Monaco to start afresh.

As Slava struggles to rebuild his life, danger lurks in the shadows. A mysterious van nearly runs him down in the streets of Monaco, leaving him battered and shaken. Fearing for his safety, Slava hires bodyguards Aidan and Liam to protect him. But even their vigilant presence may not be enough when ghosts from Slava's past in Russia resurface, threatening to destroy him once and for all.

Amidst the chaos, Slava finds solace in a budding romance with his charming neighbor Thierry. With his bodyguards' house damaged in a fire and Liam injured in an accident, the team faces challenges on all fronts as they race to uncover who is behind the attempts on Slava's life.

As shocking truths emerge and alliances shift, Slava must confront his past and choose his path forward. Will he let the forces conspiring against him win, or will he rise from the ashes to forge a new future?
