A New Life Doesn't Come for Free

Lately, Alexander has new documents, a new biography, a new appearance—one way or another, a new life! And there is no room in it for anything from the past. There are still enemies there, an endless race for survival—and… the woman he loves. But here’s the paradox: above all, he needs this woman, yet he can’t be together with her. So there’s only one thing left—forget her forever! Especially since a wealthy widow, Marina Verbitskaya, is circling nearby. Alexander realizes: it’s not the only thing that attracts Verbitskaya about him—his brave exterior isn’t the only lure. No matter how you look at it, a new life isn’t free!
