She told him to get the fuck out of her office. He fell in love on the spot.
Sofia Mikhailova built The Velvet Rose from nothing—a Brooklyn lounge that's her kingdom, her livelihood, her everything. She doesn't need a man, and she definitely doesn't need the Russian mob.
Then Alexei Morozov walks through her door.
Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. The pakhan of the Morozov Bratva doesn't ask for what he wants—he takes it. And what he wants is Sofia's cooperation with a deal that could save her business... or destroy it.
She should tell him no. Should keep her distance from a man whose world is built on violence and blood. But when bullets fly and enemies close in, Alexei becomes the only thing standing between Sofia and death.
He swore he'd never love again. She swore she'd never bend for any man. But in the ashes of what they thought they knew, something dangerous ignites''a passion neither can control, and a connection that might just get them both killed.
He'll burn the world down to keep her safe. She'll drive into a firefight to save him. Together, they're either unstoppable... or doomed.
A dark mafia romance featuring a possessive pakhan, a stubborn heroine who doesn't take orders, found family, morally gray men who worship their women, and a slow burn that explodes into all-consuming fire.
