In her fast pace, violent world, she knows how to linger on the small moments, how to build a relationship from the ground up, and how to not let the action overshadow the emotions.

The way how she weaves her mafia world is like no other. Add in an over-the-top alpha hero, and deranged Bratva rival, and you get another perfect addition of Nicole's Bratva duet.
