"I'm not a man of many words... солнышко," he said softly, the Russian endearment curling off his tongue like smoke-sweet, but choking. "Come closer." She hesitated, her body trembling, tears spilling soundlessly down her cheeks. He watched her, the way fear made her small, fragile-beautiful in a broken way. She rose, slow as a confession, and walked to him because something in his smile promised shelter and tasted like a lie. He leaned in, close enough to feel his breath, and I saw the patient cruelty behind his eyes. "Now," he murmured, his voice turning colder, heavier, "tell me... what did you do to make me want to cut your leg?" The room went still, except for her quiet gasps. He tilted his head, studying her face as if searching for the moment she would break. ...............................................................

# The Devil's Saint "You call it obsession." "I call it devotion." Anastasia Karpova once saved a dying man inside a church. She didn't know him She only knew that the stranger had piercing green eyes far too dark, too dangerous, to belong in the house of God. She thought that night ended there. She never realized that for him, that night was only the beginning. For two years, Artem searched for her. No name. No identity. Nothing but the memory of a girl in a white veil and a pair of green eyes he could never forget. And when he finally found her... Artem made only one decision. Take her. Two years later, in one blood-soaked night, Anastasia loses everything. Her father. Her brothers. Her home. Her entire world. And the man standing in the middle of that sea of blood... is the same man she once saved. **Artem Petrov.** The most feared Pakhan in Russia's Bratva. Cold. Ruthless. Merciless.

And the devil wearing a saint's face had only one weakness- the woman he called: Moya Svyataya. *My Saint.* He ruled a kingdom built on blood and death. She was the only thing that still smelled like spring. And perhaps that was why the devil wanted a saint. *Dark Romance • Bratva • Possessive Hero • Obsession • Enemies to Lovers • Toxic Love*
