Ivan Orlov has spent his life chasing luck, but he never expected to steal it. When a stranger wins a $250 million jackpot and promptly collapses at a casino, Ivan makes a split-second, life-altering choice. He swaps their tickets and walks away, leaving an old man to die alone.
Four years later, Ivan is a billionaire living the American dream. He has the perfect family, a real estate empire, and a secret he thinks is buried forever. But he didn't count on Kristof Volkov-the ruthless head of a Russian crime syndicate and the son of the man Ivan left for dead.
When a legendary FBI agent, Marcus Kane, is assigned to protect Ivan from a professional hit, the stakes turn lethal. Chased by an assassin who was once the love of Kane's life, the two men must survive a relentless onslaught of violence. But the deadliest blow isn't a bullet. A hidden will and a shocking DNA revelation prove that Ivan's victim wasn't a stranger-he was the father Ivan never knew. Now, caught between a brother who wants him dead and a protector he doesn't deserve, Ivan must decide if blood is thicker than gold. In the Volkov family, redemption is written in lead.
