The Sinful Kiss
By day, Valentina Alvarez is a brilliant university student in New York - ambitious, elegant, and seemingly ordinary. But beneath the surface, she is Rose, a deadly assassin forged in tragedy. At thirteen, she witnessed her parents, legendary underworld assassins, murdered before her eyes, and from that night forward, she vowed never to be weak again.
Nikolai Zaiklov is a man of two faces. To the world, he is a ruthless Bratva boss, commanding fear and respect with calculated precision. In reality, he reigns as king of the underground dark world, feared by every criminal who whispers his name. His childhood under the brutal rule of his father, Viktor Zaiklov, forged him into a predator: cold, precise, and utterly untouchable.
When Valentina's secret life collides with Nikolai's empire, sparks ignite in a deadly dance of desire, power, and vengeance. Every glance is a threat, every touch a temptation, and one sinful kiss could bind them together - or destroy them both.
In a city of shadows where love is forbidden and betrayal is lethal, only the strong survive. And for Valentina and Nikolai, survival has never been so dangerously intoxicating.
They hated each other, till they didn't.
Somewhere along the way they'd gotten desperate. desperate for the lingering touch, the kisses, the communication, the mere presence of one another. it was supposed to be forced, but they found themselves enjoying it silently.
