Barinov Bratva Series: The Complete Collection
(2026)(A book in the Barinov Bratva series)
An omnibus of novels by Kat Steele
Book 1:
Things I did not plan to do that morning: spill four lattes, get accused of espionage, and flirt with a Bratva boss via misfired text. I went three for three.
In fairness, he had it coming. His dog plowed into me on Main Street and sent four scalding lattes everywhere – and then hehad the nerve to demand I pay to clean his suit. He plucked my phone right out of my hand and typed in his number. As if I asked.
I’m just a café owner trying to make ends meet. He’s ice-cold, arrogant, and six-foot-four with shoulders that have no business fitting into a single suit. So later, when I typed a text to my sister with exactly what I thought of him…I may have mentioned I'd be happy to peel him out of that suit myself.
There’s just one problem. I sent the message. To him.
Luka Barinov. Bratva. As in, actual organized crime Bratva.
And now? Let’s just say he’s interested in more than that text. He’s interested in me, and according to him, an uncle I’ve never met owes his family a debt paid in blood.
He wants me in his house. Under his rules. Subject to his ‘interrogation.’
And when Luka’s enemies capture my little sister Hope, running stops being an option.
The man who won't let me go is suddenly the only one who can get her back.
He might think I’m a pawn, for now. But he's about to find out what I do when someone touches my family.
Book 2:
Things I did not plan to do while recovering from a fire, a crash, and a man named Luka Barinov: lie to him every single morning, rob him blind to save my sister, and find out I'm carrying his baby.
Three for three. Again.
Luka’s enemies have my little sister. The kind of has that comes with a countdown and a price. And the only currency they’ll take is Luka – or should I say his secrets, handed over one stolen file at a time.
So every morning Luka brings me coffee in bed, and every morning I smile, and lie, and slide a phone under the pillow that could get him killed.
He thinks he's keeping me safe.
He has no idea I'm the threat inside his own house.
The worst part isn't the betrayal. It's that I'm falling for him while I do it – harder every day, in a way that makes the lying feel like swallowing glass. The man the entire world is terrified of kneels beside the bed just to check that I'm breathing. He's the only reason I'm still here. And he has no idea the woman he's bleeding for is the one quietly taking him apart.
Then there's the secret I can't smile my way past.
Two pink lines. His.
So now I'm not choosing between the man I love and the sister I can't lose. I'm choosing for all three of us. And every road that ends with Hope alive runs straight through the one heart I can’t bear to break.
There were a lot of lines I swore I’d never cross. But with my heart, my sister, and my unborn child on the line, I'm about to cross every single one of them.
For readers who love ruthless, obsessive antiheroes, an impossible-choice heroine who stops asking permission, a secret baby, and found family forged in fire.
Genre: Romance
