When a world-renowned Black surgeon Dr. Amara Blake finds a bruised, shivering four-year-old boy abandoned behind a dumpster, her instinct is immediate-save him. She has no idea that the quiet, broken child she's nursing back to life is the missing heir of Sergei Mikhailov, a ruthless Russian mafia don with a blood-soaked past and billions at his command. As Amara and little Nikolai form an unbreakable bond, Sergei's desperate search leads him straight to her door-and to a woman whose strength, warmth, and unapologetic grace challenge everything he thought he knew about power and love. But the past is never far behind. As danger creeps closer and secrets unravel, Amara and Sergei must confront the darkness threatening their fragile new world. What begins as protection becomes devotion, and what starts in survival ignites into something neither of them expected: a love powerful enough to rewrite their futures. Beneath Her Grace is a gripping, slow-burn romantic drama about healing, redemption, and the kind of love that makes even the most dangerous men kneel. #1 in Russian

Scarlett Blake is an ex-marine with a genius mind and a bad attitude. She's angry at the world-even though a "zombie" pandemic swept the globe and did a decent job of decimating humanity about two years ago. Now she's making her way through that world, and, along the way, she'll rediscover what it's like to experience basic human interactions and the fine line between being lonely and being alone. Aaron van Shackle is an army man who always manages to go with the flow but can't seem to remember why he got dropped off in what feels like post-apocalyptic Texas. He'll have to find a way to break through Scarlett's hardened shell and prove that the holes he creates are the type that she should choose to keep. Maybe. It also wouldn't hurt to figure out what happened to a society that once flourished. Along with friends old and new and a solid set of swords, the pair will have to figure out how to survive in a world that's been changed forever, and, if not bring some semblance of the world back, lay the foundations for a new one.

Little does she know, Jamal has been secretly stalking and observing her every move, with a hidden agenda to corrupt and possess her.
