"Bullets and ballet shoes. Russian curses and grand jetés. Welcome to Nocturne, where a prima ballerina pack heat and crime lord appreciate fine art."
----
She was Nocturne's prima ballerina. He was the city's most dangerous kingpin. Together, they would burn the Russian underworld to ash.
Verena Petrova dances for Nocturne's elite, but beneath her ethereal grace lies a deadly secret-she's been living off blood money for eleven years. When Alaric Volkov, the ruthless pakhan of the city's most feared Bratva family, discovers her father's crimes, he offers her a choice: decode his enemies' secrets or watch everything she's built crumble.
But Alaric Volkov doesn't just want her skills. He wants her-mind, body, and the dangerous fire that burns beneath her porcelain mask.
What begins as blackmail ignites into an obsession neither can control. As Moscow's shadows reach across an ocean to claim what they believe they own, vera must choose between the safety of surrender and the intoxicating danger of a man who promises to burn the world down for her.
Some debts are inherited. Some sins are chosen. And some loves are worth destroying empires for.
In Nocturne's neon-lit underworld, grace meets grit, ballet meets bullets, and a ballerina learns that the deadliest dance is the one between predator and prey-especially when you can't tell which one you are.
From blood-stained pointe shoes to diamond-encrusted bullets, this is a love obsession story written in violence and sealed with sin.
