Summary / Synopsis
Three months ago, I nearly got hit by a car. The man behind the wheel was devastatingly handsome, dangerously charming, and impossible to forget. One conversation turned into one reckless night, and then we walked away, believing it was over.
We were wrong.
A single plus sign on a pregnancy test proves our story isn’t finished. But that’s a problem for later. First, I have to survive my sister’s engagement party.
Except when I see who she’s marrying, my world shatters.
Ilarion Zakharov.
The man I can’t forget.
The man I can’t trust.
The man I never stopped wanting.
Before I can escape, bullets tear through the celebration and secrets spill in blood and chaos. Ilarion isn’t just a man with a dangerous past—he’s a Bratva don with enemies who don’t miss.
And now that he knows I’m carrying his heir?
He’s not letting me out of his sight.

My Takes
This is a cliffhanger book. This is a very good story. I devoured it in a day and read book two that night on Kindle. You do need to know going in that if you aren't planning on reading book two this is not a complete story. You have to read both! It was well written and spicy! The sister sucks but all in all it had wonderful characters and a morally gray MMC and everyone knows that's yummy!
