He's her captor, her protector... and the father of her child.

Talia

Serving cocktails with morning sickness is bad enough. Stumbling into a mob hit? Nightmare. Running is my only choice. Although I never expected to run into him. Alek. The hook-up I can't forget.

The guy I saw murdered was his brother. And he'll do anything to find the killer—even if that means keeping me under lock and key until I ID the shooter. Now, he's the only one standing between me and a bullet.

Once, I'd have given anything to be this close to Alek, even if he's keeping me at arm's length… sometimes. But getting closer makes keeping secrets so much harder.

That secret?

The baby I'm carrying is his.

My mind should be on my business, not the woman who slipped through my fingers weeks ago. Talia. She was meant to be a forgettable fling. But she became… an obsession. An unwelcome one. Women and I… don't work.

Now, she's the only lead to my brother's murderer. And the killer knows it. Keeping her close is about getting to him before he gets to her. Nothing more.

But when the threat moves closer, I'll unleash hell to protect what's mine. And that includes Talia.

Fans of Russian mafia dark romance are going to love this final book from the Avilov Bratva series. It's a thrilling ride of lust, a secret pregnancy, a love-hate-love relationship that'll leave you begging for more, and plenty of steam to boot!
