When 17-year old Alina Winters, an ambitious and proud violinist looking for freedom in music, is offered a place in an all-boys boarding orchestra school, Alina accepts on a whim. Surrounded by men and boys she's never seen before, Alina goes on a journey to find herself. But she meets Rowan Lee, what hold she has over her life is shattered. She finds herself falling for this violinist able to keep up with her. But soon, with the start of the regional competition, only the elite can win. More importantly, only one person can win. Pressure to regain herself and earn the fame she deserves, Alina disappears into a dark world of bribery, grit, and where everyone is willing to kill to win the prize. With everything against them, will love persevere?
Also, just a short message from the author. I've written this in the way the main character sees the world. Not every musician plays to get to fame, and this is the journey Alina takes to get rid of that greed. This is a hard book to read, but I promise you it will be worth it in the end.
"I mean, I'd fight you for it, but I've got a violin concert tomorrow and I don't want to break any fingers."

Blood & Vows
In the shadow-filled world of Moscow's criminal elite, two warring families have maintained a fragile, blood-soaked equilibrium-until a chance encounter threatens to destroy everything. Viktor Mikhailov rules the city's underworld with cold precision. Feared by enemies and allies alike, he takes what he wants and eliminates anything in his path. His empire is built on calculated ruthlessness, and he's never encountered a weakness he couldn't crush. Alina Sokolov has been sheltered from her father's dangerous world, a prized possession kept untainted by the brutality of the bratva. Intelligent and quietly rebellious, she's built her own sanctuary in the world of art and beauty, far from the violence that funds her privileged life. When their paths collide at an elite Moscow gala, the chemistry between them is immediate and devastating. But Viktor isn't just any dangerous man-he's her father's sworn enemy, the man who's promised to destroy the Sokolov family. And Alina represents everything Viktor has taught himself to resist: innocence, vulnerability, temptation. What begins as a calculated seduction quickly evolves into an obsession neither can control. As Viktor draws Alina deeper into his world of luxury and violence, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything for a man who brings destruction with one hand and passion with the other. In a city where trust is a weakness and love is a liability, Viktor and Alina's forbidden affair threatens not just their hearts, but the empires their families have built on blood and betrayal. ------------Terminé
