Sins of the Volkovs #2 Born into the powerful Volkov family, Alya had everything except her own freedom. Kaya sa ikalabing-walong kaarawan niya, tumakas siya. She left Russia and hid in a quiet coastal town in Leyte, hoping to find a life she could finally call her own. Doon niya nakilala si Nevan. He was just a fisherman, but he became her sanctuary. Sa piling niya, unti-unting kumalma ang mga malalakas na alon ng takot sa puso ni Alya. But you can never truly outrun a gilded past. As the danger catches up, Alya realizes that the shackles of her family name aren't just waiting for her back home... they are already buried deep beneath her peace. Trapping her. Suffocating her. No matter how far she runs, her past is a storm she cannot escape. Because some secrets don't just stay behind. They flow like waves beneath her skin. -- Start: --/--/-- End: --/--/--

[UNEDITED] Elyssia Lopez is smart, disciplined, and on track to graduate laude. By day, she's a nursing student at UST. By night, she's a lethal assassin for Crimson Veil. Her mission? Marry Zagreus and pretend to be his wife. It should have been easy. After all, he was hopelessly in love with her. Crimson Veil had failed to end him again and again... until the night of the explosion. The party, the car--everything was meant to end it. Two years of deception, two years of danger, and she thought she was finally free. But chaos tore through the room. People screamed and stumbled toward the exits. And in the middle of it all... he was there. Zagreus Romanovich Volkov--alive. From that night on, everything change. (the photo used for the book cover is not mine. crdts to the rightful owner.)
