Alexei will stop at nothing to give his brother the life he deserves…even if it means risking his own. When the mafia thug learns that his ballerino brother Valeri, a fellow alpha, has fallen for the nephew of another family, he begs him to choose anyone else. But Valeri is in love, and nothing can stop love…except, perhaps, instinct. Left with no other choice, Alexei turns to untested waters to try and convince his brother to stay by manipulating the very nature of his being.
