Keep your distance, princess. Or Ill be your ruin.

I should listen.

I’m Bratva royalty, and he’s my brother’s closest ally.

Older. Scarred. Lethal.

But as his dark gaze locks with mine, full of the desire he’s tried to bury,

I know I’m ready to break every d*mn rule written in my book.

When masked men crash my birthday with the intent to make it my last,

It’s Grigori who saves me.

In the shadows of a safehouse, he becomes my obsession. And I, his.

His words tell me I deserve better.

But his eyes reveal a hunger he’s buried for years,

A desire he’s fought every step of the way.

They say a savage enforcer with bloodstained hands will only destroy me.

And I’m ready to burn for him.

Because walking away from the only man who’s ever made me feel alive isn’t an option.

Not when I’m carrying the one secret that could destroy us both.

I thought my neighbor was just a grumpy recluse.

Turns out, he’s the devil in an Armani suit.

It all started with a Christmas disaster.

My curvy boudoir photos landed on his doorstep.

Cue absolute panic…

And visions of him laughing at my plus-size curves.

But when I showed up to reclaim my photos…

He wasn’t laughing.

He was waiting.

When’s the worst time to meet your insanely hot, older boss?

Probably when he’s naked in the shower…

Doing something obscene… and equally fascinating.

Taking the job as Nico Conti’s nanny seemed perfect.

Just me, two sweet girls, and a payday before Christmas.

But my first day was a total disaster.

By nightfall, I’m soaking in his luxurious tub, thinking he’s out of town.

But then I hear footsteps—my heart leaps into my throat as I slide deeper into the bubbles.

Nico steps into the shower, every inch of him gloriously on display.

And what I see him doing I definitely shouldn’t be watching.

What's more humiliating than the walk of shame?

Walking into your new job…

Locking eyes with the dominating stranger.

And realizing he's your boss.

Lev Ivanov.

Dark. Commanding.

The most irresistible silver fox Ive ever seen.

After rescuing me from a sketchy situation,

He didn't just suggest dinner—he demanded it.

Curiosity won over caution, and that night became the most passionate of my life.

By morning, he was gone.

He's old enough to be my father.

He might have killed my ex-boyfriend.

And his scandalous offer leaves me speechless.

Not only is my ex dead, he left me with a sizable loan.

So an intimidating Russian mobster arrives at my door.

Maksim, with his piercing dark eyes, sparks a fire within me.

He proposes the unthinkable: repay him with my body.

I immediately reject his offer … but the indecent proposal haunts me for days.

In the privacy of my bed, the handsome silver fox dominates my thoughts.

I touch myself gently and scream his name in abandon.

A knock at the door startles me.

It's Maksim.

He bugged my apartment.

And now he's here to claim what we both desperately need.

“Be a good girl and do as you're told.”

His baritone voice thunders through the hall.

I'm at a sinister party, dragged here by my wicked stepmother.

Strangers' knowing glances send shivers down my spine.

A horrifying truth hits me…

This isn't just any party.

It's my GOD D*MN wedding night.

Towering above me, a foot and a half taller…

Lukyan Ivanov.

Coldhearted killer. Feared by all. Including me.

My stepmother sold my soul to the devil.

I plot my escape, but a shocking discovery halts me…

Unexpectedly pregnant with Lukyan's child, I see him transform entirely.

Now a fiercely devoted husband who vows to protect his family at all costs.

One chilling question seeps into my mind:

Can I ever truly escape the devil, or am I bound to him forever?

Rule one: Never sleep with your boss.

Rule two: Definitely don't sleep with your ex's dad.

Im learning both the HARD way.

Under the bright lights of a charity auction, my heart races

Then I see HIM—a suave, enigmatic older man who doesn't just watch me—he sees me.

He wins a date with me for a staggering $25,000.

That night my mysterious bidder had me wanting to do things Id never admit.

And I did them willingly, secure in the thought a one-time fling wouldnt come back to bit me.

I couldnt have been more wrong.

Hes the irresistible single dad who owns half this city.

And thanks to one ill-fated drunk text

My colossal crush is no longer a secret.

I should have known better.

Im a freaking teacher for crying out loud.

Supposedly the epitome of responsibility.

Yet there I was, detailing my wildest fantasies about a man twice my age.

He was never meant to read it.

But he did.

And he wanted more.

So much more

Jason:

A drunk text from a stranger left a large stiffness in my trousers.

Whats REALLY wrong with this picture?

Im a single dad. Shes half my age.

And her defiance makes my blood boil.

One things crystal clear: I wont rest until I claim Aubrey.

Taste her full lips. And devour every inch of her heavenly curves.

But Im not the only one who wants her.

The Bratva thinks they own her.

They have no clue.

Im not your ordinary billionaire. Im ruthless.

Ill protect Aubrey. And our baby growing inside her.
