Running from him once was hard.

Doing it again will be impossible.

Especially once he finds out Im pregnant with his child.

When he learns the truth, Samuil whisks me away to his Scottish castle.

He says its to keep me safe.

But the bars on the windows say theyre there to keep me contained.

I want to hate him for locking me away.

But when his touch melts my resolve and his kisses promise protection,

I start to wonder if his prison might be the only place Im truly free.

Because the way he looks at me now—like Im carrying his whole world inside me—

Makes me want to believe in forever.

Problem is, forever might be shorter than we think.

Dark forces are closing in on all sides,

Led by his ex-wife and his own brother, who want to destroy everything Sams built.

I say, Let them come.

That day on the beach, Rufus knocked a stranger into my arms.

Now, Im carrying his heir.

Im commanding his castle.

And Im about to show his enemies

Why even the gentlest creatures have teeth.

My BFF sent the hot stranger a voice note

Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.

And he just. Texted. Back.

Its the dogs fault, really.

If this untrained Great Dane Im walking had any manners at all, I never wouldve ended up here:

With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man Ive ever seen.

Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.

(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)

He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

Im still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.

“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.

Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”

THATS when she reveals that shed been recording my response.

THATS when she gives me the most devilish grin Ive ever seen and says, “Youre welcome.”

And THATS when she hands me my phone and reveals

She sent the recording to him.

My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…

Then a text.

“PROVE IT.”

Inked Adonis is Book 1 of the Litvinov Bratva duet. The story concludes in Book 2, Inked Athena.

My babys here.

Her fathers not.

And if I have it my way, well never see him again.

Because Matvey Groza stomped my heart to smithereens.

It went pretty much like this:

ME: I love you.

HIM: Im marrying someone else.

Im paraphrasing, but not by much.

Because some facts are undeniable.

Matvey got me pregnant. FACT.

Im just now starting labor. FACT.

But Matvey is nowhere to be found. FACT.

Because hes busy getting married

To the other woman he knocked up. FACT.

He said theres more at play than I could understand, but whats so hard to understand about that?

He swore hed be there for me, and hes not.

He said he loved me, but he doesnt.

So Im taking our baby and Im running.

Let him try to catch us if he can.

CASHMERE RUIN is Book 2 of the Groza Bratva duet. The story begins in Book 1, CASHMERE CRUELTY.

When is the worst time to tell someone he's going to be a father?

Probably the day of the wedding…

When he is getting married to someone else.

Well, that is exactly what I did.

But my hands were tied.

Literally.

Matvey Groza is a dangerous man.

And nine months ago, he strolled into my shop looking for a custom suit.

But when I accidentally walked in on him in the changing room,

*I* was the one that ended up needing a new set of clothes.

It was a one-time mistake.

After that… good riddance.

But the pregnancy test I took a month later had other plans.

I kept it a secret from everyone.

Or so I thought.

But when Matvey's enemies learned that I was pregnant with his child,

they kidnapped me and held me hostage.

Until I broke free and ran as fast as I could.

And I had no one else to turn to but the devil himself.

What better time for me to enter the church…

… than as the pastor says, “Speak now or forever hold your peace?

CASHMERE CRUELTY is Book 1 of the Groza Bratva Duet. The story continues in Book 2, CASHMERE RUIN.

My new boss is gorgeous, arrogant, and filthy rich.

The only problem?

He doesn't know he's also the father of my baby.

Six years ago, I was supposed to get married.

But the night before the wedding, my groom-to-be showed me sides of himself I'd never seen before.

I might've died in that hotel room…

If Mikhail Novikov hadn't burst in to save me.

My ex came back from the dead,

and stole me away from my happily ever after.

And somehow, that's not even the worst of my problems.

Because I've also been separated from my son.

My father is trying to kill me.

And my husband thinks I'm pregnant—but the truth is that I lost the baby…

and I don't know how to tell him.

Basically, my whole world's on fire.

I crashed a wedding.

Got caught by the best man.

Now, I'm pregnant with his baby…

Its Katyas fault. (As per usual.)

My BFF despises her ex and wants to hate-watch him marry the woman he left her for.

Problem is, she didnt fill me in on that plan

Until we arrive at the ceremony.

As soon as I find out, I run.

Hop on the elevator and smash the Doors Close button like the Energizer Bunny on a sugar rush.

But right before they shut

A hand comes shooting through.

And attached to that hand, unfortunately for me, is the most stunning human specimen Ive ever seen.

Tall.

Dark.

Handsome.

Dangerous.

Also the best man.

He takes one look at me and knows I dont belong.

Who let you in here, little bird? he growls.

I gulp. Tremble.

Open my mouth to lie

And then the elevator stops.

I did a bad thing

And the man I love is here to make me pay for it.

Youre coming with me, he snarls.

Theres zero percent chance THATs happening, I fire back.

But I only get about two steps away before Andrey decides to take matters into his own hands.

Literally.

And its me.

Im matters.

So now, Im back where I started.

Stuck somewhere I dont belong with a dangerous man who hates me.

The difference between now and then?

This time around

Im pregnant with his twin babies.
