Red Petals & Broken Glass

Nova, a 19-year-old college student, is struggling to move forward from a traumatic past. Just as she believes she's making progress, Leonid Volkov, a 30-year-old mafia heir, enters her life and disrupts everything. His attraction to her comes at a high cost-he will have to go against his father's wishes and break family law to pursue a relationship with her.

As their connection deepens, both face difficult decisions. Nova must decide whether to risk the stability she's worked hard to build, while Leonid must choose whether to defy his family's expectations for the sake of love. The central question for both is whether they are willing to upend their lives for love, even when its future remains uncertain.

Please Read:

I want to start by stating that this book explores themes of trauma, heavy drinking, obsession, brief scenes of sexual violence, murder, and gore. While this book is purely fictional, I understand that many of these topics reflect real-life experiences. If you are someone who may be triggered or negatively affected by these themes, I encourage you to reconsider reading this book.

I do, however, have another book on the way-a collection of poems about deep emotions and love. If you're looking for something lighter or more reflective, I highly recommend reading that instead.

If you are struggling with any of the issues portrayed in this book, please consider seeking professional help or talking to a trusted loved one. You are not alone. Even when it feels like the darkness is overwhelming, there is always a light-you just have to find it.
