She came to arrest him. He came to keep her.
Detective Superintendent Eleanor Keene has spent eighteen months hunting the Volkov Bratva's deadliest weapon. She knows Luka Markov's file by heart: Sovietnik. Enforcer. Six foot four of tailored menace with a body count no agency can prove.
What she doesn't know is that tonight, she's the bait.
When her operation goes up in flames — literally — the only way out of Vienna alive is under the protection of the man she swore to cage. He knows who killed her partner. He knows
there's a traitor inside her own agency. And he keeps putting his body between her and every bullet with her name on it.
She should run. Instead she's sharing safehouses with a man who kills without blinking and carves small wooden animals at three in the morning — and falling for him one broken rule at a time.
The Bratva code says sheltering a cop means death. His.
Her badge says wanting him means losing everything else.
Neither of them has ever been good at obeying.
Ruthless Creed is a full-length dark bratva romance featuring enemies to lovers, touch-her-and-die, he-falls-first, a found family with a body count, and an ending worth bleeding for. Reads as a standalone. 18+ — please review the content notes inside.
