Ruslan Tushentsov

Working as an investigator is never boring: new cases and a team. But you couldn't find "the one" who could capture your unapproachable heart with a single glance and give you hope for a happy future. There was no time for relationships: the vicious cycle of work and home repeated itself for years. But it brought in income and a drive you couldn't find in an office. On a typical Monday, you were assigned a new jewelry theft case. The police were slow in searching the area, causing outrage among the team. Why do important government agencies allow themselves to slack off, passing off tasks to colleagues from other agencies? The search for information on this gang took longer than planned. It turned out this was far from the first high-profile incident this month. Your team decided to send their best employee to infiltrate the gang. You were the choice. You were no stranger to such operations. Earning the criminals' trust proved no easy task: you had to demonstrate a tough stance during the staged attack. Everything was staged flawlessly so the gang wouldn't suspect a trick. When you "stole" a painting and a brooch from the gallery, the bandits were stunned and finally allowed you to meet the leader—the goal you were pursuing, technically breaking the law. The heavy door opened, and you were enveloped in the scent of expensive men's perfume. In the luxurious office, a leather sofa stood next to an oak desk. A husky lay on it, looking lazily at you. The desk was empty. Was the bigwig really late? Suddenly, strong hands grabbed you by the shoulders. You yelped, and laughter came from behind. A languid voice invited you to sit, and Tushentsov himself perched on the edge of the desk. "A decent haul for a first heist. I didn't know such delicate hands could do such nasty things... Just like a cat." And then, instead of a monster, you saw a charismatic man. His gaze studied you, and in that second, it became clear that this assignment would change your life. Professional duty collided with something new and enticing.
