Nakia Bryan has spent the last year running—from the past, from the man who wants to own her, and from the fear that she’ll never be free. With her two sons in tow, survival is her only goal. But when a violent ambush leaves her with no choice but to trust a stranger, she finds herself in the hands of a man far more dangerous than the one she fled. Ivan Petrov doesn’t do good deeds. The Chicago underworld is his playground, and he plays to win. But when a fierce woman and her terrified kids crash into his world, something inside him shifts. He doesn’t do attachments, yet keeping Nakia safe becomes an obsession he can’t shake. But Nakia’s past is hunting her, and Ivan’s enemies are circling. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood, can they survive long enough to find something worth fighting for? Love isn’t always a fairytale. Sometimes, it’s a war. *BWWM Mafia Contemporary Interracial Romance HEA*

The characters I write will not be perfect. None of us are. They will make mistakes. All of the hero's will have redeeming qualities, but on the outset, you may not be their biggest fan. My heroine's will be the kind of women you want to hang out with. They're the women next door, down the street and around the corner. They are the ladies you would want to spend time with on a Saturday night drinking a martini. I have been an avid reader of romance novels since the age of 14 and know what appeals to me as reader. My goal is, and will always be, to provide that same experience for the women and men who read my novellas and short stories. I’m a former Marine and served for 8 years, so strong military men will always be a favorite topic of mine. I will continue to write stories with military heroes’ front and center. I’m also a fan of Alpha-males and strong women who love with everything they have.
