Amara Sato has been someone else since she was fourteen. She's good at it. Then a stranger recognises her at a bar, the Marshals move her overnight, and she wakes up in a Blue Ridge estate with a man called Kade Rourke who took her phone before he took her name. He says it's protection. The rules say otherwise: locked gates, dead air, no leaving. For three months Amara studies the house the way she once studied her father's enemies - and finds the thing she was never meant to see. The order to kill her has already been signed. It's waiting for a verdict that hasn't happened yet. Kade has been stalling it. Now the only way out of the estate is through the man keeping her in it - and the only way to stay alive is to burn down the senator who built the house in the first place.
Dr. Nikolai Federov hat zwei Terminkalender, zwei Handys und ein Problem: Der Mann, den alle Pakhan nennen, ist derselbe, den die Notaufnahme um zwei Uhr nachts anruft.

Dr. Priya Raman hat eine Untersuchung gegen einen Kollegen am Hals, einen Bruder in Bundesgewahrsam und absolut keine Geduld für Männer mit Geheimnissen.

Ein Russenmafia-Arzt-Roman über den einzigen Mann in der Bratva, der lieber im OP stehen würde.

What none of them know is that Mira has been buying the school out from under them, one scholarship at a time, and when her father's next attack kills a student instead of a Moretti, the truce dies with him. The brothers have twenty-four hours to decide whether to hand her back or go to war for her. They choose war. *He Promised Me Ruin* is a dark why-choose mafia academy romance about three brothers, one bride who was never supposed to survive, and a war that ends in a chapel.

Idris Thorn needs a mate to claim his crown and the council will never accept a wolf who has never run. Marisol doesn't want the bond or the crown. But the fire that brought them together was set by the people trying to take them both down - and Marisol has the evidence, if the pack will listen to a woman who has never had a wolf to stand behind. A fated mates wolf shifter romance about the last woman expected to be chosen.
Dr. Nikolai Federov has two schedules, two phones, and one problem: the man everyone calls the pakhan is the same man the trauma center calls at 2 a.m. He's been holding the two lives apart for nine years. Then his uncle is shot, his name is called, and the family he barely tolerates puts him in a chair he never asked to sit in. Dr. Priya Raman has an inquiry into a colleague, a brother in federal custody, and absolutely no patience for men with secrets. She's the first person to ask Nikolai what he actually wants. He doesn't answer. He doesn't have an answer. He has a hospital, a family, and a shift at seven. A Russian mafia doctor romance about the only man in the Bratva who would rather be in an operating room.
