Armand Volkova is not a man who believes in fate. At twenty-five, the Russian-French mafia heir is already a name soaked in blood and whispered in fear. Tattooed, cold-eyed, and carved from stone, Armand moves through Manhattan like a wolf in a designer suit-dangerous, untouchable, and completely detached from the glittering world around him. That is, until she crashes into him-literally. Aimará Dunham is everything he's not. A Spanish-Ethiopian Olympic figure skater from London, she's all soft curls, warm brown eyes, and the kind of poise only the world's stage can give. Graceful, brilliant, and entirely unaware of the storm she just collided with. Living alone in Manhattan for college, she only wanted coffee that day... not a collision with the city's most dangerous man. For Armand, it's love at first sight. Obsession, even. A fixation he can't understand-but doesn't want to escape. He wants her. Needs her. Not just in his bed, but in his arms, in his life, in every bloodstained part of it. For Aimará, he's an enigma-hauntingly beautiful, but cold, strange, and far too intense. Their connection is undeniable, but hers is a slow burn... complicated by instincts that scream he's hiding something lethal. As secrets unravel and her perfect world begins to darken, Aimará finds herself pulled deeper into Armand's orbit. But when the truth surfaces-when she discovers who he truly is-will she run? Or will she stay with the devil who treats her like an angel?

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 ❝𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬❞ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ In a world where everyone plays dirty, silence isn't safety- it's strategy. Olive thought she'd finally outrun the chaos. That quiet meant peace. But the past has a cruel way of catching up, and sometimes the real enemy is the one you never saw coming. Whispers grow louder. Trust fractures. A familiar face returns with a hidden agenda, and the people Olive once relied on begin to shift in the shadows. Loyalties bend, love is weaponized, and the line between truth and manipulation thins with every secret unearthed. Xavier is still the center of her storm- magnetic, dangerous, impossible to walk away from. But what they had is no longer what they know. And when the foundations crack, Olive is forced to ask herself one question: Who is he really protecting? As the web tightens and a new power rises from the quiet, Olive must choose between who she was and who she's becoming. Between love and survival. Between silence... and the war waiting to erupt beneath it. Because this time, it's not just about staying alive. It's about what you're willing to risk when everything you believed was a lie.
