Summary

When Ivy’s mother announces her engagement to a notorious Russian mafia boss, Ivy’s life spirals into a nightmare she never asked for. Suddenly, she’s thrust into a dangerous new world, forced to live under the same roof as her two new stepbrothers, twin enforcers of the feared Bratva, cold, ruthless, and merciless. Aleksei and Nikolai are as lethal as they are identical, bound by blood and a code of silence. But Ivy’s arrival shatters their fragile balance. She instantly despises Aleksei, the older twin whose icy glare could freeze fire, while Nikolai’s quiet menace unsettles her in ways she can’t explain. Torn between hatred and a dark, forbidden attraction, Ivy finds herself trapped in a game of power, control, and dangerous desire, where one wrong move could mean death. As the shadows of the mafia tighten around them, Ivy must navigate twisted loyalties and brutal secrets, caught between two brothers who will stop at nothing to claim her.

*********************

IVY MORGAN

When my mother marries the king of the Russian Bratva, my world flips upside down, and I’m trapped under one roof with his twin sons. Aleksei is cold, brutal, and everything I hate. Nikolai is quiet, dangerous… and somehow, he unsettles me in ways I can’t explain.

I’m caught between two brothers who don’t just want to protect me, they want to own me. But I refuse to be anyone’s fucking possession.


ALEKSEI VALENKOV

Ivy Morgan is a fire wrapped in defiance. She hates me, but that only makes her more tempting. I don’t do softness. I don’t do weakness. But there’s something about her that makes me want to break all my rules.

NIKOLAI VALENKOV

She’s the storm I can’t stop watching, the danger beneath my calm. Ivy’s hate cuts deep, but so does the pull I feel toward her. She makes me want to ruin her before anyone else can touch her. I’ll break her just to see if she begs.
