Description
They say the universe leaves signs to set you on the right path...
Mine led me to the wicked beast chained in my father’s basement.
Lethal. Irresistible. Built for violence.
Mikhail Rykov is the dark Bratva prince the Cosa Nostra forces me to marry.
To him, I’m a pesky means of settling a debt.
Our twisted game begins with him behind bars—
and ends the morning he walks free into my father’s office.
A ring on my finger. The cage suddenly mine.
I can’t escape him.
So I swear I won’t give in.
But as he drags me into his underworld,
I unravel under heated touches and his commanding voice.
Until my resistance starts feeling like a lie.
That’s when he miscalculates.
In Mikhail’s world, love is a weakness.
And I’m about to become one he can’t afford.
Devious Touch is a standalone dark mafia romance featuring an arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, a smart and innocent heroine with a tragic past, and an ultra possessive, over-the-top hero with “look at her and I’ll unalive you” vibes in a gothic atmosphere.
It has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.
