Katyusha by KennyMichels

Katyusha was your average young woman in Russia, that was until June 22 when the Blitzkrieg of Russia began. Her town became war-torn and wanting to fight; she picked up arms with her grandfather's rifle. Driven by revenge and hatred towards the Wehrmacht forces, her legacy and wraith were brought forth in its fullest. The first female sniper ever to join the Russian ranks, she quickly became feared on the front as she earned her nickname, 'Die Jägerin.'

Ice & Prejudice by V_Wardy

Victoria 'Ria' Winters is the youngest out of all her quadruplet sisters; the one with the dark humor and haunting past. That's why she worked so hard for scholarships abroad to get as far away as possible. All her sisters had their own challenges, but nothing compared to Ria's past. When a traumatic event when she was 11 repeated itself when she was a freshman in college, it nearly destroyed her like the 1st time. She's learned from an early age to trust no one. Especially not men. After an assault by Vlad Wolves, the younger brother of the star hockey captain Nikolai Wolves, Ria was dragged through a brutal court case that nearly ended her. Vlad, a master manipulator and narcissist, turned the tables, leaving Ria to bear the blame and forcing her to transfer schools to escape the shame. Now, three years later, Ria has rebuild her life at one of the best universities in the world, focused solely on her studies and her future. But when Nik-who's always despised her for 'trying to ruin his family image for attention and money'-needs help to save his beloved place on the hockey team, he's forced to turn to the one person he hates most: Victoria. Nikolai had his own reasons to hate Ria. But when his powerful father, who has always had doubts about Vlad's innocence, insists that Ria tutors Nik in exchange for her fully funded graduate scholarship abroad, they're both trapped. Obviously, Ria hated that whole family for what happened freshman year in her former college. Especially Nikolai Wolves who testified against her, as if the moron had even been there when his younger brother assaulted her. Forced to work together Victoria and Nikolai's mutual hatred ignites into a battle of wills. There sessions are a minefield of cutting remarks, icy glares, and unresolved anger. But beneath the venom, there's undeniable tension-attraction. Beneath the anger and hurt, they begin to uncover the truth about each other-and about Vlad.

Dangerous Devotion by zozoisdead

(PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS MY SOFT BOY) Valentina Anastasia Adamovich is no ordinary woman. The daughter of a feared Russian mafia kingpin, she inherited a legacy soaked in blood. Now, as the first female to ever command an army of ruthless, unpredictable men and women, she is a force to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to be a killing machine, she has the blood of a thousand lives on her hands. But the question remains: Can she carry out her next mission-or will her deadly instincts fail her? Dante Azzaro, the indomitable leader of the Italian mafia, is a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Cold, calculating, and with one of the most powerful syndicates in the world at his disposal, Dante is a ruthless killer. When a striking woman-Valentina herself-suddenly crosses his path, even he is taken aback. But what happens when a deadly collision between them is inevitable? Not even he knows. When the Italian mafia finds itself compromised by a series of stolen shipments, Dante faces an impossible choice: ally with the Russians, or risk everything for revenge. Will he bend, or will he break? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She aims her gun at me in an instant, and the men in the room draw their weapons, all pointing at her. She grabs the file, and turns her back on me, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she heads toward the door. I watch her walk away, her hips swaying like she's too damn comfortable in a place she shouldn't even be. I want to feel anger and irritation, but what I feel instead is something more dangerous something that I'm not ready to name. I've dealt with stubborn people before, but Valentina, she's a different breed. "Valentina," I call, keeping my voice controlled, like I'm not about to lose my mind over the mess I'm in. She doesn't stop. I didn't expect her to. She's too damn proud. MATURE CONTENT 18+
