Prologue
Enter the Lion
It’s time for you to stop what you’re doing and read for a few minutes.
Because, sometimes the stress of a day beats you up. Sometimes you’re tired. Sometimes nothing seems fair. Sometimes bills, drama, responsibilities, or even the world’s shit piles on top of you until you’re drowning in the chaos and you can’t breathe.
Thankfully, you are blessed with Queen DNA.
Thankfully, you know who you are.
You have big dreams and high goals, even if your bank account doesn’t match the price tags.
You’ve got this!
Life will always make a way.
So you relax for a few minutes and start to read a new romance when suddenly. . .
Something heavy slams into the door.
BOOM!
A loud crash comes next. The door shudders in the frame.
BOOM!
Fast, you jump up. Your heart skips beats.
BOOM!
The hinges crack.
Right as you rush off in the opposite direction.
BOOM!
A huge, muscular man wearing a designer suit slams through the door with the same power of a wrecking ball. The heavy wooden door falls to the ground.
He points a gun at you. A heavy Russian accent laces his words. “Stay right there.”
You freeze.
He keeps the gun trained on you. “And make no noise.”
Your scream lodges in your throat.
“I don’t plan to harm you or take anything. I only need a place to hide until my ride appears.” The man steps further in, giving you a better view.
Now you can see him clearly.
He’s at least 6’4” with a bulky muscular build and shoulders a mile wide. The designer suit molds to his body perfectly.
His hair is midnight black and cut short and stylish.
His face is perfectly structured like a model. Sleek jaw and pointed nose. High cheekbones and full lips.
His eyebrows are two dark slashes above thick-lashed eyes that glow blue, cold, and deep.
