Preemptive Strike Phillip Torsrud

In the turbulent 1990s in Russia, eighteen-year-old Svetlana is about to graduate from high school. She dreams of traveling and of becoming a Russian ambassador to the United States or England. But when she meets Yuri, a young ruffian working for the Russian Mafia, her life takes a drastic turn.

Yuri wants to date Svetlana, but she rejects him, and Yuri swears vengeance. When Svetlana is offered the chance to be a nanny to a loving English family in London, she boards the plane without a second thought. Only too late does she discover that Yuri has carried out a vicious plot against her. Heathcliff, an imposing Englishman, certainly doesn?t need a nanny?but he does need more girls for his prostitution ring, and beautiful, exotic Svetlana will make the perfect addition.

Held hostage and forced to become a prostitute, Svetlana becomes all too familiar with the seedy London underworld. But Yuri didn?t bargain on Svetlana?s courageous inner spirit, and she?ll do whatever it takes to escape?and seek her own revenge.
