I'm a rule-follower. A good girl. He’s a mob boss. A criminal. I would never… Kovan burst into my ER with a boy bleeding out in his arms. I didn’t know he was a Bratva pakhan. I only knew that child would die if I didn’t do something. So I did. But that was just the beginning. Because the boy is Kovan's nephew. And Kovan needs custody. His solution? Me. He wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend in front of the courts. That means thirty days of living in his house. Thirty days raising his nephew like he’s ours. Thirty days of pretending like I'm not irresistibly drawn to the most dangerous man in the city. I saved his life. He’s about to ruin mine. TOXIC TEMPTATION is Book 1 in the Krayev Bratva duet. Kovan and Vesper’s story continues in Book 2, TOXIC SALVATION.

I swore an Do no harm. Too bad Kovan never swore the same. Because the mob boss just broke my heart. I'm pregnant. My mother is dying. And the man I love—the man who ruined me—refuses to let me go. But wait—there's more. Luka is unraveling, angry at the world for losing everyone he’s ever loved. The social worker is circling, ready to rip him out of our home. And Ihor Makhova—Kovan’s oldest enemy—has discovered my name. My pregnancy. My weakness. There are moments—quiet breakfasts, lullabies whispered to Luka, Kovan's hand steadying me when the baby kicks—that make me believe we could be a family. And then the bullets fly, the secrets explode, and I see the blood on Kovan’s hands. And I can't help but wonder... What's the point of protecting us if there's nothing left to protect? TOXIC SALVATION is Book 2 of the Krayev Bratva duet. Kovan and Vesper’s story begins in Book 1, TOXIC TEMPTATION.
