Journalist Anastasia Romanova was never married. All her novels had the bright candy-flower period—only to wither at the very beginning of “everyday” relationships. So it happened with the well-known politician Egor Fomin: now they were, unfortunately, linked by nothing more than friendship. Yet once there had been real passion between them! Now he sees in her only a battle ally in the pre-election struggle for the post of mayor of the city. Without hesitating a second, Nastya steps into a difficult game together with Egor—one where not only a political career and business are on the line, but also life and health. Clear warnings to stop follow one after another. But neither Egor nor Nastya—and not even oligarch Igor Streletskiy, who funds Fomin’s election campaign—intend to back out of the plans they’ve set, even after a murder that happens almost right in front of their eyes…
