A damsel in distress. A dark knight. Will love conquer all? I’m lucky I have won our battle of wills, but the war between us is far from over. Kat has agreed to my demands for now. But if I had to guess, I’d say she’s probably saving her energy for a later fight—one she can actually win. I just know we will have many, many more battles in the foreseeable future. Even though I hold her life in my hands, the little thief challenges me every step of the way, and I just can’t wait to force her into submission—slowly and repeatedly. Kat is a complication—an unavoidable one since I need her help with my plans. But I can’t decide if she is my salvation or my doom. One way or the other, the woman and the uncontrollable emotional outbursts she provokes in me have become an extra problem I now must handle. If only I could ignore the powerful, almost gravitational pull I feel towards her… After all, we are stuck together—for better or for worse. As far as my plans are concerned, it’s definitely for the worse. There are important, life-and-death matters that demand my full attention. The future of my bratva is up in the air and the threat of war with a rival boss looms ahead. Will this spark between us turn into a flame, or will our tangled web of secrets consume us both? Diamond Dreams is Book Two of the Diamond Duet, the first in the Ruthless Russians series. It is a spicy enemies to lovers mafia romance with a HEA, no cheating, and touch her and die vibes. Kat and Nik’s story begins in Book One, Diamond Don.
