The Russian Defiance
(2026)(The sixth book in the New York Criminal Empire series)
A novel by Ava Gray
I went to the Mafia for revenge.
I never expected to fall for The Ghost.
A ruthless Russian king.
A masked killer.
The only man willing to make my enemy pay.
He gave me justice.
Then he gave me his heart.
For a few stolen weeks, Damian Krinkov made me believe I could be his.
Until I discovered the truth.
He was promised to another woman.
An Italian Mafia princess.
A powerful alliance.
A marriage meant to prevent a bloody war.
Then I heard Damian choose his family over me.
So I ran.
I left New York with a shattered heart…
…and his child growing inside me.
Six years later, Damian finds me.
He thinks I abandoned him.
I think he chose her.
Neither of us knows the truth.
But Damian’s enemies have found me too.
And now they know about the little boy with his golden eyes.
Damian swears he’ll protect us.
Swears he’ll never let me disappear again.
But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to hate him.
Because the man I never stopped loving is standing in front of me again.
And this time, he wants his family back.
But the man who tore us apart six years ago…
isn’t finished with us yet.
