Roses for the Ruthless is a gripping dark mafia romance about power, obsession, and a marriage neither of them wanted-but neither can escape.
Maksim, the ruthless heir to the Russian Bratva, survived a deadly car accident that should have killed him. In the final moments before darkness took him, one thing burned itself into his memory: the haunting eyes of the woman who saved his life. For two years, he searched for her-never imagining fate would deliver her to him in the most brutal way possible.
Dr. Halyna has spent her life fighting to build a future far from crime and violence. A brilliant neurosurgeon with a soft heart and quiet dreams of true love, she never expected to become payment for her father's dangerous dealings with the mafia. But when a failed arms deal puts her family in the Bratva's debt, Halyna is forced into a contract marriage with the most feared man she has ever met.
Maksim doesn't believe in love-only loyalty, power, and possession. Yet from the moment his reluctant bride walks toward him down the aisle, something dark and undeniable ignites between them. Secrets bind them. Desire consumes them. And enemies lurking in the shadows threaten to destroy everything before either of them can admit the truth: what began as a forced union is becoming something far more dangerous.
In a world ruled by blood, betrayal, and ruthless men, the most dangerous thing of all might be falling in love.
