She helped them take my child – and signed herself a death warrant. I am the crowned King of the NY Bratva. I take. Nobody dares take from me. Avery Johnson should have minded her own secrets and left my family alone. Instead, she helped to snatch my boy. I’m getting Misha back and Avery will help me. Whether she wants to or not. And then - I’ll make her pay. As she remains my unwilling houseguest, I realize that this tiny beauty is nothing like I expected. Spirited, fiery, and sensual. Her worry for my son seems genuine, her defiancé thrills me, her untouched body drives me insane. She ignites something inside me that was dormant for years. But once we are getting too close, Avery’s darkest secrets come to light and threaten to burn my mob Empire to the ground. Will I let her live to ruin everything I’ve worked too damn hard building? Or will I have to bury my heart along with her? Heir for the Bratva King is Book One of the Deadly Empire duet. Denis and Avery’s story will conclude in Book Two, Queen for the Bratva King.
