Black Serpents & Tempting Sins

Mahinev Berrak is no stranger to shadows. At 28, she's cold, guarded, and carries the weight of a dark, traumatic past. After relocating to Meridian City two years ago, she's carved out a quiet, stable existence-one that keeps people at a distance.

After a heated argument with a friend while returning from an out-of-town event, Mahinev chooses to walk home alone. Lost and miles from safety, she stumbles upon a remote gas station-and into the path of Nikolai Anatoly.

Nikolai, 31, is dangerous, ruthless, and the notorious leader of the Black Serpents, a powerful biker gang feared across the city. He sees Mahinev as just another lost woman with secrets-but he couldn't be more wrong.
