Pretty Lady | Ruthless Empire Book 1

Nikolai Ivanov has spent over two decades ruling the Bratva with an iron fist. Ruthless, calculating, and untouchable, he built an empire from nothing - and at forty-three, he believes there's nothing left in life that can surprise him.

Until her.

Elena has lived her entire life hidden from the world her father fears most. Sheltered, bright, and untouched by the darkness beyond her carefully guarded walls, she's been protected at all costs - even if it meant living in the shadows.

But safety is an illusion.

When a threat emerges that her father can't handle alone, he turns to the last man he ever wanted to owe - an old friend with a dangerous reputation.

Nikolai Ivanov.

Now Elena is thrust into a world of power, violence, and secrets... and into the path of a man who was never meant to care.

But some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed.

And in a world as ruthless as his, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
