She’s his knight
Wren Knight has her priorities in order. Her family, her students, then her job. Nothing else in her life really matters in the long run. Armenian mafia boss Sevan Balian has a similar list. His kids, his family, his empire. So what happens when both of them have to add love to the list?

Ace of swords - January 2027
Wren Knight knows how dangerous the crime families in her town are. Still, she loves her students, so when the son of a local mob boss almost gets kidnapped, she’s stepping in to protect her precious pupil. Not to get involved with whatever’s escalating between the Albanians and the Irish.
Sevan Balian loves his son and daughter, and that’s about it. When he takes in Wren Knight to shield her from the backlash headed her way, he’s doing it only for his son, not because of the way he feels when she turns her glare his way.
