What becomes of the Russian spy who lands himself in the crosshairs of a rogue British agent?Grigory Antipov’s work within the intelligence community is exemplary, but attracting too much attention is against his interests as a spy-a lesson painfully learned the night he is abducted off the streets of Rome. Captivity is a dangerous thing and Grigory already operates under a cloud of suspicion, given his predilection for male company. Luckily, his stint in British custody is short-lived, a mere flex of muscle from Agent Karim Awad.Karim’s objective is obvious. Lure Grigory into Section’s clutches and turn him against his own people-expose him to the wrath of Moscow if he refuses. His mission brief may not specify the methods to be used, but Grigory soon discovers that Karim is a man of many talents. With powerful interests at play and the threat of deadly force in the air, Grigory faces an impossible choice-surrender to his fate or sacrifice the only man whose touch makes him feel alive after so many years.
