𝘌𝘜𝘗𝘏𝘖𝘙𝘐𝘈 ✦ A story of blood, power, and the chaos in between ✦ She was born into shadows - raised by kings who ruled behind velvet curtains and bloodstained crowns. A princess by name, a weapon by nature. But when death cracks her world open, she's forced into close quarters with the one man who was never meant to be hers. He's cold. Controlled. Dangerous in ways she can't afford. And yet... she can't stay away. Their hatred burns. Their desire blinds. And as secrets unravel, grief deepens, and loyalties blur, she's faced with a choice: survive the game, or surrender to it. Because falling might feel like euphoria - but loving him will destroy her.

𝘌𝘊𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘚𝘠 ✦ Revenge tastes sweeter when you're the weapon they created. ✦ They stole her childhood. Shaped her into a shadow. And gave her a name meant to be feared. Now, at twenty-five, she moves through the world like a whispered curse - wrapped in silk, dripping in sin, and marked by blood. Seduction is second nature. Killing is instinct. And every name she crosses off her list brings her closer to the vengeance she was built for. But when a woman from the darkest corners of her past steps into the light - older, colder, and far more dangerous than she remembers - everything fractures. She was conditioned beside her. She knows what she is. And she's not here to save her. She's here to finish the job. In a world of secrets and sins, desire can be a weapon - or a weakness. And when you're made to kill, love might be the deadliest thing of all.

"Don't forget who had you on your knees, Zinovia," Sevan said, taking a long sip of her drink. Which I promptly snatched from her hand as soon as she lowered the glass from her mouth. "Don't forget all the power I held too," I said to her, not once glancing away from her darkened stare, "The mess I made of you milaya..." I trailed off, tilting my head as I openly analyzed her face, "It was pathetic really." Sevan smiled almost sadistically in response, "The mess you made of me?" she repeated the words in full amusement, "I'm still standing.

After her father's death, Zinovia steps up to lead the Russian mafia as its most feared and adored princess. But she's soon pulled into the dark world of Sevan Cortez, the woman who commands the entire mafia underworld. What starts as a power struggle between them quickly spirals into a twisted game of sex, manipulation, and deceit. But even Zinovia knows... You can't ruin, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙.

Forbidden things are like a beautiful hypnotizing magnet. Once you get pulled in, it's hard to pull back. But maybe I liked being pulled in, especially if it was by her.

"If you wanted me to fuck you, all you had to do was ask," Tazmin said, her raspy voice lowered as she drew one of her hands up the inside of my thigh. I clenched my jaw, "I didn't," I gritted, even if we both knew it was a full-faced lie. Especially with me bent over her desk with my hands held behind my back. "Oh so this..." she trailed off, suddenly running her fingers along my damp underwear, "Is all for someone else?" I drew in a deep breath, feeling the needy ache between my legs grow as she caressed her fingers back and forth against my covered core. "Anyone else," I forced out tightly. ♤ There's a delicate balance between law and order. And Milena Azhari fought ruthlessly for that balance as a defense lawyer, who is on the brink of achieving her lifelong dream... Making partner at her law firm.
