He's been my best friend for five years. One night changed everything.
I was supposed to be settling down with Derek. Safe. Stable. Boring.
Instead, I showed up at Mikhail's door with wine, vodka, and terrible decisions.
Five times. We had sex five times that night.
And then I found out I was pregnant.
The problem? I was still with Derek when it happened. I'm a cheater. The worst kind of person. The kind who destroys lives to get what she wants.
The bigger problem? I want Mikhail. I've wanted him for years. I just was too scared to admit it.
Now I'm single, pregnant, and drowning in guilt. Derek hates me. My friends think I'm insane. And Mikhail? He says he loves me. That he's wanted me for years. That we're going to be okay.
But how can we be okay when our love was built on lies and betrayal?
How can I be happy when I destroyed someone to get here?
I kept the pregnancy secret for six weeks. Pushed him away. Punished myself. But you can't hide a baby forever.
And now we have to figure out how to be together when everything about us is wrong.
Except it doesn't feel wrong. It feels perfect.
Reckless Hearts is a dark, angsty best friends to lovers mafia romance featuring a morally gray heroine, an obsessed hero who's been pining for years, pregnancy, cheating (FMC cheats on boyfriend with MMC), heavy guilt and self-forgiveness themes, and a chaotic happy ending. Fourth book in the Morozov Bratva series but can be read as standalone.
