Misha Sokolov has spent his college years in America as the infamous Party God of Sigma Theta Rho, everyone’s favorite Russian menace. His only rule: don’t make anything he’ll miss once he’s dragged back to Moscow to follow in his father’s corporate footsteps.

That plan turns to ash when he meets Emma Reeves at the Sigma Halloween party. An ambitious lit major, Emma’s passionate intelligence draws Misha in—and pierces right through his façade. Before the night ends, Emma longs to see more of Misha’s secret side and provokes his untapped craving for something real.

For the first time, Misha wants to attach.

As the clock ticks down, Misha’s playboy past comes back to haunt them both while his fraternity brother vies for Emma’s attention. Adrian Calloway has more money, more books, more ambition, and he doesn’t come with a time limit.

Misha and Emma must decide if being together is worth the costs—or if some risks are worth taking.
