She's a ghost from Moscow. I should have known the second I saw her.
She's in my compound. Behind a locked door. I should stay away.
I don't.
Every night I sit outside her door and read to her in Russian. I tell myself it's protection.
I'm lying. I'm obsessed with a girl who doesn't speak.
Then one night, she hums a lullaby through the door.
Milochka.
The girl I swore to a dying woman I'd find. The girl I stopped looking for three years ago.
If she finds out who I am, she'll hate me.
I have no right to want her. I want her anyway.
If Alexei finds out she's alive, he'll come for her.
I made a promise once. I broke it.
I'll end every man hunting her before I fail her twice.
Ruthless Sin is best read after Ruthless Vow and Ruthless Scar. Each book follows a new couple with a guaranteed HEA, but the world, the family, and the stakes run deeper if you start at Book 1.
Tropes: Italian Consigliere x Bratva heir, captive/forced proximity, silent survivor heroine, touch-starved morally gray MMC, obsession/possession, "I swore I'd find you," he's been looking for her, found family.
