Sasha, Not Aleks

Cora thought the mob was a joke. Sasha knows it very much isn't.

Aleksandr, Sasha, Starikov was given an ultimatum after a deal of his father's fell through.
Coraline, Cora, Laurier is dwindling on the edge of bankruptcy.
Sasha knows falling for the mechanic will tie him to the mob forever.
Cora realizes her mistake too late.

When Sasha's father messes up a deal with Laughlin Avery, one of Boston's biggest businessmen, Sasha is the only one that can 'fix' it and his father will do anything for that to happen. Cora knows every elite person within greater Boston, Laughlin Avery being one of her loyal customers. Sasha sees her, initially, as a way in, but as tensions between high performance car mechanic and mobster's son rise, time runs out.

'Sasha, not Aleks' is a story of family loyalty, sexual innuendos, a Ducati Superleggera, and most importantly, falling in love.
