-- EXCERPT: Sasha I strode into the room confidently and, hands on hips, placed myself between Alex and the TV. Casting the joystick aside, he leaned back further and raised an eyebrow at me. I imagined fires being put out by one of his cold stares. “Don’t you think it’s time to earn some of the money Nikolai pays you?” I asked quietly, careful not to let Beth overhear. “On the contrary, Princess.

It’s not hard, trust me.” “Are you serious?” I couldn’t believe that he, of all people, felt entitled to instruct me about manners. God, he was infuriating.
