Broken By The Bratva Strategist
(2026)(The second book in the Sorokin Bratva series)
A novel by Cora J Riley
He sees everything. Except her.
Nikolai Sorokin is the bratva’s strategist. He reads people the way other people read books — cataloguing tells, predicting behaviour, seeing patterns where everyone else sees chaos. He has never met a person he couldn’t decode.
Then Cara Mercer starts showing up on Saturdays.
She’s twenty-two. She works in a bookshop. She reads in the library and helps the cook make soup and smiles at everyone and calls him by his first name and he has categorised her as: sweet, young, off-limits. Filed and forgotten.
Except Cara Mercer has been watching him for months. She knows when his jaw tightens (he wants to touch her). She knows when he leaves a room (he was about to touch her). She knows every tell, every pattern, every wall he’s built.
And she has a plan to tear them all down.
The motorcycle. The leather jacket. The dress she shouldn’t have worn. The question she asked at three in the morning. The night she sat on his lap when there were three empty chairs.
Nik is the smartest man in the room. Cara is the woman who outplayed him with a smile and a sundress. He calls her ‘little one.’ She’s anything but.
Two mistakes. Two nights he can’t take back. One woman he can’t stop wanting. And a threat neither of them saw coming.
Broken by the Bratva Strategist is a full-length dark romance featuring a quiet heroine with a devastating long game, a hero who counts everything except the days he’s falling, and two mistakes that change everything. Book 2 of The Sorokin Bratva Series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
