A Very Cruel Man

By Joanna Blake

One night. Attempted murder that turns into a stolen kiss. A broken necklace in my hand. The chase of a lifetime.

A notorious mobster. A dead body. A catering waiter in a coat closet.

My name is Andrei Aslanov. I am one of the most infamous criminals in the world. My exploits with women are nearly as legendary. I never met a female I couldn't tame. Until her.

She tries to run and hide, but I catch her.

And once I have her under lock and key, that is when the real cat and mouse game begins. I cannot release her. I cannot do what I need to do. What I should do. What I must do to protect our family name.

My captive is too precious, too desirable, to harm even one hair on her beautiful head.

So I keep her alive, hidden from my father, desperate to claim her for myself.

Who will prevail? The cat? The mouse? The spider watching from the shadows?

A Very Cruel Man is a connected standalone novel in the Aslanov Brothers' world. Happy Ever After guaranteed.
