We are her strength…forever. None of us was prepared for the storm that is our woman to blow into our lives. She came in with meekness wrapped around her as protection, but the steel in her spine was easy to see. You just had to look close enough. Vanquishing her demons was only the start. Now that her light shines upon our city, the rats are scurrying and trying to find shelter. But what runs must be caught, and we have always been predators. Taking over Seattle was never going to be easy, and we expected more battles ahead. What we didn’t foresee was having so much more to lose. Bitterness and rage have corrupted the dark corners of this city. Now those who have been hidden should expect retribution in the light. What they didn’t count on was how fierce we would defend what is ours. Our city. Our woman. Our lives. Tangled together, our souls are strongest together. The sins that strangled our city for too long will not find solace here. We will fight those who oppose us and keep our woman safe. Anything less will make us unworthy of our queen and we’re never letting her go. 18+. This story has dark themes and morally gray mafia heroes, yes multiple. You’ll still find an insta-love story that is spicy and isn’t necessarily simple, but with darker themes, situations, spicy times and depictions of violence (not between the MMC and MFC). No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. Kirill Volkov and his men – Maxim, Baker, and Hutch – have been mentioned in the Seattle books. This is the second book in the Bratva Souls Duet.
