The scariest man in Boston lives in the apartment below mine.
Dmitri Morozov doesn't talk. Doesn't smile. Doesn't do anything except fill doorways and make grown men cross the street. He's the Bratva's enforcer — six foot three of scars, cathedral tattoos, and silence.
I brought him cookies anyway.
I'm a kindergarten teacher. I stress-bake. I make welcome cookies for everyone, even enormous, terrifying men who look like they've never eaten anything that wasn't served on a threat.
He didn't say thank you. He didn't say anything.
But the next morning, the plate was clean. Washed. Gleaming. Sitting on my landing.
Then came the aluminum stars. The notes. The silence that somehow became the loudest thing in my life.
My brothers bet I wouldn't last three months in this apartment alone. If I win, they fund my classroom art supplies for a year. I didn't plan on the man downstairs becoming the reason I stay.
Dmitri Morozov doesn't do gentle. But for me, he's learning.
Tamed by the Bratva is Book 3 in the Boston Bratva Series. It features a silent, scarred enforcer hero, a sunshine kindergarten teacher heroine, a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, and a guaranteed HEA. Each book follows a different Morozov brother and can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
