Why we recommend it
Merciless by design, this Bratva opener pairs forced closeness with a hero determined to claim what he believes is his. Expect a protective yet possessive lead, a heroine drawn into a brutal world and a connection that smolders within confined quarters. Dark, dominant and intense, it caters to readers who crave alpha crime lords, simmering proximity tension and devotion that borders on dangerous. A propulsive start to a series built on menace and heat.
