HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

My bags are on the bed cause there is where I will be sleeping and Dimitri on the sofa, there is no way I will be sleeping next to him. "Get comfy Petrov," I smirked placed my bag on the bed "I'm not sleeping on the sofa," he said "Well I'm not either," I said crossing my arms "Why not, why should I sleep on the sofa?" he asked, "Cause you're a gentleman right?" I teased with a grin, "I'm not sleeping on the sofa and you can't make me Ангел," I ground "Fine, I sleep on one side and you on the other, we'll make a pillow wall between us," I said nodding my head "Why scared of what you might do?" he teased "Go fuck yourself" I snapped. "Only if you watched," this fucker, I rolled my eyes and went to my side.

This book is available on Kindle/KU !!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJHFMW3Q I thought I knew what I wanted from this life. That is until I met the Valor brothers and it turned my world upside down. I kill for a living, something familiar to the brothers as they navigate their own illicit company in this industry. They've made a name for themselves, but that doesn't mean I can get close. I've disentangled my life from the work I do and getting involved with them is something I can't risk. When the stakes get too high will that still hold true? Will I finally give into the feelings that I'm pushing deep down? Will the brothers let me into their lives? Its a clusterfuck of problems, but I better figure it out before my demons take over completely. He's coming for me and as much as I want to push these brothers away, they might just end up being my salvation. Either that or my demise... Lilah: The Assassin, The Avoidant, The Addiction Maverick: The Leader. Mav's sole responsibility is keeping his brothers safe. It's all he cares about and he will do anything to make that possible, even if it means denying the woman he wants. Onyx: The Mask. Onyx is closed off to everyone in the world except his brothers. To everyone else he is a sceptic, but he keeps everything close to his heart. Can he really trust her? Dame: The Pretty Boy. Dame is all jokes and smiles, a puppy at one point then a guard dog the next. When he loves, he loves hard. Kai: The Pyschopath. Kai thrives off blood and pain--nothing can satiate him the way those do. No one can handle his moods or his needs. Can she?
