Blood and Silk Series #1: Ilya Barinov This is not a love story. This is a story of obsession.

Her life was quiet and normal as everyone living herself as an employee, until he saw her. The untouchable, feared, and unstoppable man who built an empire from shadows. When his eyes fell on her, everything else ceased to exist. She became his obsession, his desire, the only light he craved in a world of darkness. From the moment he decided she was his, no force on earth could protect her. He doesn't ask... he claims. And once claimed, there is no escape. "She was never lost... she was taken. And he won't let go" Power, obsession, and desire collide in a world where love is as dangerous as it is irresistible. Contains • Mature scene • Killing scene • Cursing • Smut 🔞⚠️
