Rival's Claim

By Anna Viktoria Luv

In their world, wanting the wrong person is a death sentence.

Dmitri Volkov inherited an empire of blood and silence. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable.

Sasha Reznik clawed his way up from nothing. Hungry. Volatile. Unstoppable.

They rule rival territories in a city that doesn't forgive weakness-and nothing is weaker than desire. When a common enemy forces them into an alliance, hatred becomes something far more dangerous.

Every stolen glance is a risk. Every secret meeting, a betrayal. One wrong move, and they'll end up like Kolya-broken, discarded, forgotten.

But some things can't stay buried.

He was never supposed to want him. Now he'll burn everything to claim him.

Rival's Claim is a dark M/M enemies-to-lovers romance featuring morally gray characters, explicit content, and an HFN ending. This book contains violence, homophobia depicted in a criminal underworld setting, and men who refuse to apologize for what they are.

No redemption arcs. No soft landings. Just two dangerous men who can't stay away from each other.
