Plot twist: The bad-boy Bratva who kidnapped me is secretly a pookie…sort of.
Ivan Zotov isn't just my family's enemy because we're Italian Mafia, and he's Russian Bratva.
Nooo…it's his sleazy, cunning nature that makes him enemy #1.
And as if being held captive wasn't bad enough, who's there to dwarf my one escape attempt?
None other than Ivan Zotov, six foot four, covered in tattoos, built like a Russian Adonis, tackles me to the ground, then accuses me of being reckless for hurting myself, and then has the audacity to switch over to be caring and nice…while kidnapping me himself.
He's every greyscale shade of wrong.
So color me surprised when he turns out to have some surprisingly redeeming qualities apart from his dangerously good looks.
Not that I care.
Because I sure as hell won't fall for my kidnapper.
No matter if he looks at me as if he knows exactly who I am (hint: not my twin, who I pretend to be).
No matter how protective he is (even against his own secret society).
And no matter that he catches every single one of my Jane Austen quotes (really undermines his bad-boy image, tbh).
I will not cave — especially since Italian Mafia Princess is not really all I am.
And I'm afraid he knows that too.
Cruel Deception is the fourth standalone in the Ruthless Rogues Mafia Romance series. This dark romance features kidnapping, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and a fierce hacker heroine who's met her match in her protective Bratva captor.
Genre: Romance
