Synopsis
A dark Bratva standalone romance She found me bleeding in the shadows and chose to save my life. A stranger. Innocent. Too good for the world I'd drag her into. I told myself I could keep her close without destroying her. I was wrong. When my enemy came for me, he used her to do it. I believed him. I locked her away in the dark, not knowing what the dark does to her. By the time I learned the truth, I ran back to her. She was on the floor when I opened that door. Bloodied footprints circling the floor. Her body curled small and still. And when I reached for her, she made sure I'd carry her mark on my face forever. Good. I deserve far worse. She survived me once. Now I have to convince her to survive me again. For fans of obsessive heroes, brutal betrayal, and grovel arcs that devastate before they heal. Dark Bratva standalone. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. He falls first and hardest — and he will bleed to prove it.
