I ran. He found me. And he's not letting me go again. Being eight months pregnant means I'm not doing much running these days. Thank God—I've done enough running for a lifetime. I've got a new name, a new life, and a tiny cottage by the ocean where no one knows who I am. I've even started to let myself believe I'm safe. Then I come home to find Petyr Gubarev in my living room. He's furious, dangerous, and demanding I return with him. Return?! With him?! Is he crazy?! The same man who admitted he'd been lying to me from the start? That he knew who I was all along? That he married me to use me against my family? Uh, that's gonna be a "no" from me, my friend. But Petyr isn't asking. And the problem is, my "no" isn't as forceful as it should be. Because no matter how many times he used me for his plans and his pleasure... ... part of me always wanted more. So here I go again, back down the Bratva rabbit hole. But this time, I'm walking in with my eyes wide open. Let's see which one of us breaks first. CRUEL JULIET is Book 2 in the Gubarev Bratva duet. The story begins in Book 1, CRUEL ROMEO.
