Book 1 of Pheonix & Trishul. --- She wakes...not confused, not afraid. The pitch-black room, the dying light above her, the cuffs around her wrists...none of it rattles her. She remembers enough. Enough to know this wasn't an accident. The door opens. And the man who once loved her like a religion walks in...the same man who destroyed her like a sin. He looks at her like he still owns her. She looks at him like he's already dead. Her voice cuts the silence, low and poisonous: "Was it you?" Not a question. A warning. Because this time, she isn't the one who's trapped. He is. ❀❁❀❁✿✾✿ Book 2 coming soon...

A man feared by all-ruthless, powerful, and dangerously captivating. He's not just handsome; he commands attention the moment he steps into a room. He is the most feared mafia boss in all of London, a name spoken in whispers and never without caution. But beneath the tailored suits and cold, calculating eyes lies a past shrouded in darkness. His life is etched with scars-both the kind that fade with time and the kind that haunt the soul. Among them, one wound never truly healed: a deep, unshakable fear of being touched. It's not just discomfort; it's terror rooted in betrayal, violence, and a pain he never speaks of. The world may see a monster, but inside, he's a man at war with his own demons. She was left on the steps of a church as a baby, with no name and no family. She grew up in the shadows of others, never knowing the warmth of a family or what it felt like to be someone's first choice. All she ever wanted was to be seen, to be cared for. So when a man showed her attention and made her feel special, she believed it was love. But it wasn't. He slowly trapped her in a world of fear and control, and by the time she realized the truth, it was too late. His love came with bruises, his promises with threats. For years, she endured his violence, his control, all while clinging to the fragile hope that something-anything-might change. But it didn't. For years, she lived through pain and violence at his hands, feeling more alone than ever. Then, one night, with fear in her veins and courage in her heart, she ran. Eight months pregnant and carrying more than just a child-she carried the strength of every scar, every tear, and every silent scream she had buried. She didn't know where the road would lead, but for the first time, it was hers to choose. They were both broken. Both running from something. And neither of them expected the other to become the safest place they'd ever known.

In a world ruled by blood, power, and fear... she was the softest thing to ever exist. He was a man people whispered about in fear. A Russian mafia king, a ruthless businessman, a man whose name alone could make grown men tremble. Love? He didn't believe in it. Until one random afternoon in India, when a small accident changed everything. A crash. A crowd gathering. A furious best friend yelling at his driver. And then... her. Standing quietly behind the chaos. Soft eyes. Tiny pout. Cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment. The most adorably beautiful creature he had ever seen. For the first time in his life... Nikolai Volkov felt something dangerous. Not anger. Not power. Obsession. Because the moment he saw her, he knew one terrifying truth. She was too soft for this world. And now that he had seen her... He would never let her go. Even if it meant dragging her into the dark empire he ruled with his three equally dangerous brothers. After all- Sunshine was never meant to wander into a storm. And Nikolai Volkov? He was the storm.
