Bratva Daddy's Muse
(2026)(The third book in the Volkov Bratva Empire series)
A novel by Melanie Spicer
VADIM
For fifteen years I've watched from the shadows.
I run security at the Horizon Lounge—the Volkov Bratva's crown jewel. I see everything. The deals. The lies. The women. I've never been initiated. Never earned my wolf. I watch, I wait, and I keep my mouth shut.
Then she walked onto my stage.
The jazz singer with a voice like whiskey and sin. The moment she opened her mouth, I knew two things: she could sing, and every other thing about her was a lie.
I watched.
I watched her search. I watched her deceive everyone but me. I watched her perform each night while my hands ached to touch what my eyes had already claimed.
Her real name is Jade. She's a thief. She's working for people who want to burn my world down. And she's the first thing in ten years that's made me want to create something instead of just observe it.
I haven't written music since my mother died. Haven't felt anything worth expressing. But Jade makes me hear melodies I'd forgotten existed. Makes me want to compose again. Makes me want to stop watching my life and start living it.
She came here to steal from us. She didn't expect me to see through her on night one. Didn't expect me to help her instead of expose her. Didn't expect to find a man who wants the real her—not the performance, not the mask, just her.
I've waited fifteen years for my seat at the table. Jade is about to show me that sometimes you don't wait for your place.
You take it.
My muse. My thief. My way in.
I'm going to earn my wolf, claim my woman, and burn anyone who tries to stop me.
Starting with the traitor who sent her.
